    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the cod fillets, scallops, shrimp, and calamari under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

    Season the Seafood

    Sprinkle the seafood with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Breading and Frying

    Dip each piece of seafood first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal mixture.

  3. 5

    Fry the Seafood

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cod, scallops, shrimp, and calamari in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
