1

Pat the fish, shrimp, and squid dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2

In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika to make the breading mixture.

3

Dredge each piece of seafood in the breading mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and shake off any excess flour.

4

Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to submerge the seafood about 5 to 7 cm deep to 180°C (350°F).

5

Fry the coated seafood in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 4 minutes per batch.

6

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried seafood and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

7

Arrange the fried seafood on a serving platter and serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or aioli for dipping.
