Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Fritto Misto Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Clean and pat dry the mixed seafood. If using calamari, slice it into rings.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Add a little water to create a light batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Seafood

    Dip the seafood in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried seafood with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges and aioli.
