Fritto Misto Ingredients
Method
Fritto Misto Directions
- 1
Prepare the batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended. Slowly add the cold sparkling water and stir until you achieve a smooth batter.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Coat the seafood
Dip the prawns, calamari rings, and fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 4
Fry the seafood
Carefully drop the battered seafood into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
