You fry them and then complain about oil? Sorry but the obvious solution is to change the recipe. Egg Plant can be cooked so many delicious ways!
The other part about being bitter....growing conditions affect bitterness. Late season or eggplant with excessive seeds or grown when there is excessive rain all can change the bitterness significantly. A pinch of sugar can solve that issue.
