Method
Preparation
- 1
Clean the Seafood
Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold water, removing any shells or impurities. Clean the cod fillets and clams thoroughly.
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Seafood
Dredge the cleaned shrimp, scallops, cod fillets, and clams in the prepared breading mixture, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
- 5
Fry the Seafood
Carefully place the breaded seafood into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the seafood is golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Keep Warm
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried seafood from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep the fried seafood warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 93°C) while cooking the rest.
Serving
- 7
Garnish and Serve
Once all the seafood is cooked, arrange it on a large platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.
