Fish

1 1/8 lb (500 g) Cod fillets

8.82 oz (250 g) Prawns (peeled and deveined)

8.82 oz (250 g) Calamari rings

Batter

1 cup 00 bread flour

1/2 cup Cornstarch

1 cup Beer

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Frying

4 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

Garnish

1 whole Lemon wedges

0 to taste Tartar sauce

Method

Preparation

Prepare the batter

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Prepare the seafood

Pat the cod fillets, prawns, and calamari dry with paper towels. This helps the batter adhere better.

Frying

Heat the oil

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

Batter and fry the seafood

Dip each piece of cod, prawn, and calamari into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes for the cod and prawns, and 2-3 minutes for the calamari.

Drain

Remove the fried seafood from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

Plate the platter

Arrange the fried cod, prawns, and calamari on a serving platter. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
