Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Rinse the squid, shrimp and fish under cold water and leave them in a colander to drain for 10-15 min. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Pour the oil into a heavy, deep pot to a depth of about 5 cm (2 in) and heat it to 180 °C (350 °F).

3. 3

   Turn the oven to its lowest setting and line a tray with paper towels.

4. 4

   Spread the flour on a plate. Toss a small handful of seafood in it and shake off the excess in a sieve.

5. 5

   Fry that handful without crowding the pot until pale golden and crisp, 1-2 min for the squid and 2-3 min for the shrimp and fish.

6. 6

   Lift it out with a slotted spoon onto the tray, sprinkle with salt and keep warm in the oven.

7. 7

   Repeat with the rest, flouring each batch just before it goes in and letting the oil come back to temperature between batches.

8. 8

   Pile everything on a warm platter and serve straight away with the wedges.
