Mixed Fried Seafood and Vegetables

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• ½ pound white fish fillets
• ½ pound squid
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 whole lemon

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 0.5 lb fish into 2-inch chunks and the 0.5 lb squid into rings; slice the 1 zucchini into 3-inch sticks. Pat everything dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup cold water, and 1 tsp salt until smooth (batter should be lumpy, not overmixed).

3. 3

   Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles immediately, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Dip fish, squid, and zucchini into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place in hot oil in batches—do not crowd the pan.

5. 5

   Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
