Method
Preparation of Seafood
- 1
Prepare the Seafood
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, calamari, and white fish fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the seafood.
Frying
- 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
Fry the Seafood
Dip each piece of seafood into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered seafood into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Repeat
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried seafood and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining seafood.
Serving
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Arrange the fried seafood on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
