Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Clean the Seafood

    Rinse the shrimps and clams under cold water. Remove the shells from the shrimps and set aside. If using live clams, soak them in salt water for 30 minutes to expel sand, then rinse.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filet of Sole

    Pat the filet of sole dry with a paper towel. Cut into strips or keep whole, depending on preference.

Breading the Seafood

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with water.

  2. 4

    Bread the Seafood

    Dredge the shrimps, clams, and filet of sole in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture to ensure an even coat.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry the Seafood

    Carefully add the breaded seafood to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Cooking Sides

  1. 7

    Prepare the French Fries

    Fry the french fries in the same oil until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and season with salt.

  2. 8

    Cook the Broccoli

    Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the fried seafood, french fries, and steamed broccoli on a large platter. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
