interesting option. have you tried clarified butter (or just buying high quality ghee)?
I mainly use tallow, clarified butter and avo for daily use.
What do the anti-seed oil folks think about algae cooking oil?
I've been using avocado oil + cast iron for years. Started reading up on oxidation in olive oil (tldr: basically hopeless if you buy it at a grocery store) and apparently avocado oil can / does(?) have similar issues.
This stuff claims to have more oxidative stability (when heated; dunno at rest) and the aluminum bottle is better than the typical plastic or glass.

I did start switching to ghee for some uses but after doing an advanced lipid panel and getting some pretty bad LDL-P counts, small particle counts, PLA2 inflammation, etc, I want to see how much a diet change from fish-eggs-cheese-nuts keto to high fiber, low saturated fat can have on the numbers.
So for now ghee is just too high in saturated fat. But if this algae oil is a viable option, it's even lower in saturated fat than avocado oil.
~3mo hardcore diet change for now, will reassess after next round of results.
Chronic low carb might be the culprit of high LDL via thyroid issues. Have you had a thyroid test done recently?
Never AFAIK. Something for me to start googling.
Though my recent tests have a pretty clear story: my saturated fat intake had gotten really high lately. Can't know for sure but my test results are not surprising.
