Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the cold soda water until smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Fry the Seafood
Dip the prepared shrimp, calamari, and fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
