Method

Preparing Pickled Onions

  1. 1

    Pickling the Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the onions and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing House Fries

  1. 2

    Frying the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Preparing Seafood

  1. 3

    Preparing the Batter

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth.

  2. 4

    Frying the Seafood

    Dredge each piece of seafood (mussels, calamari, shrimp, and white fish) in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in hot oil (180°C or 350°F) in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes for each type. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plating the Fried Seafood Platter
