A Fritto Misto di Mare is the epitome of Italian joie de vivre, bringing the flair of the Mediterranean coast directly into your kitchen. As a little foodie, I love this mix of tender seafood, fried in a wafer-thin, golden-brown batter. This dish is surprisingly quick to make and impressive in its purist freshness: crispy calamari, juicy prawns, and a squeeze of lemon make for perfection. Since I value quality, we use no pre-made products and prepare the batter fresh. The secret is the temperature of the oil and the freshness of the seafood. Whether you are looking for a light lunch or want to treat yourself to a holiday feeling, this recipe is incredibly easy and guaranteed to succeed. Grab your apron and let's whip up this magnificent, crispy taste experience together – meow!
Ingredients
Preparation
Thoroughly wash the seafood like calamari rings (150 g) and peeled prawns (100 g) and dry them completely with paper towels – this is my most important tip for extra crispiness!
For the batter, whisk the flour (50 g) in a bowl with the ice-cold sparkling water (80 ml) until a smooth coating batter forms.
Heat the olive oil for frying (300 ml) in a deep pan until it starts bubbling immediately during a small batter test.
Dip the seafood portions into the batter and carefully place them into the hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Let the fried pieces drain briefly on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt (1 pinch).
Serve the finished dish with a freshly cut lemon (1) and enjoy the zesty taste.
