Fritto Misto: Prepare, Dredge, and Fry Seafood


Preparation:
In large shallow skillet over moderately high heat, heat 3 inches of oil until thermometer registers 350°F.

Transfer flour to large plate. Sprinkle all seafood liberally with salt and pepper. Working in batches and returning oil to 350°F between batches, dredge seafood in flour, shaking to remove excess, and fry until golden and cooked through, about 20 seconds per side for whole fish and shrimp, 15 seconds per side for scallops and calamari. Using slotted spoon, remove as done and drain on paper towel–lined plate.

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately with tartar sauce.
