Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and baking powder together. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

  3. 3

    Batter the Seafood

    Dip the calamari, shrimp, and fish strips into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully place the battered seafood into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fritto misto immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of creamy remoulade or dipping sauce.
