Instructions
- Prepare the seafood by cutting the white fish fillet into bite-sized pieces and ensuring shrimp and scallops are clean and dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Add cold sparkling water gradually to the dry ingredients while whisking gently to form a smooth batter without lumps.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 180 degrees Celsius (use a thermometer if available).
- Dip each piece of seafood into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered seafood pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the seafood bites for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the seafood bites and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley to sprinkle over the seafood bites while still hot.
- Serve the crispy seafood bites immediately with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top.
Tips
- Use ice-cold sparkling water for the batter to make it extra crispy.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
