Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    Pat the shrimp, haddock, scallops, and clams dry with paper towels. This will help the batter adhere better.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Fry the Seafood

    Dredge each piece of seafood in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and clams, and 4-5 minutes for haddock and scallops.

  3. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried seafood from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
