Not being near the coast anymore, we don't do fried seafood that often.
My dad was in Louisiana a coupla weeks ago and brought back some fresh oysters.
I had a gallon of peanut oil that was stuck in the back of the fridge (unopened) 2-3 years ago. I pulled it out and let it warm up. Once it turned back to a liquid, the smell test was OK.
Got it hot in the fryer, still OK.
Ran an initial batch of french fries and they were good.
Picked up some "Sea Best" jalepeño hush puppies. Highly recommended, you can make 'em as good, but dumping out of the bag is easier.
I'm not sure if this will work for other types of oils.
