Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and the desired consistency is achieved.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Coat the Seafood and Vegetables

    Dip the calamari, shrimp, cod, scallops, zucchini, fennel, and pearl onions into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Ingredients

    Carefully add the battered seafood and vegetables to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fritto misto hot with a side of arrabbiata sauce for dipping.
