Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Ingredients
Carefully add the battered calamari, shrimp, and pickles to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried items from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with cherry pepper sauce for dipping.
