Method
Preparation of Seafood
Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the haddock, shrimp, scallops, and clams under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Breading Mixture
Make the Breading
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Frying
Heat Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil for deep frying.
Bread the Seafood
Dip each piece of seafood first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it in the breading mixture, coating thoroughly.
Fry the Seafood
Carefully place the breaded seafood into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and scallops, and 5-6 minutes for haddock and clams. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Sides Preparation
Prepare Coleslaw
In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with the coleslaw dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Cook the Fries
Prepare frozen fries according to package instructions, either in the oven or fryer until crispy.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Arrange the fried seafood on a platter alongside the coleslaw and fries. Serve with tartar sauce on the side.
