Baked Seafood

Ingredients

• 600 g pre‑cooked fresh seafood (e.g., red mullet, sardines)
• 400 g mixed pre‑cleaned and peeled seafood (e.g., squid, shrimp)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt
• ground pepper
• 100 g flour for coating (best with semolina flour)
• lemon slice

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the fish and seafood and pat them dry thoroughly.

2. 2.

   Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches the right temperature; small bubbles should rise when you hold a wooden spoon handle in it.

3. 3.

   Season everything with salt and pepper, then coat in flour, tapping off excess.

4. 4.

   Fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown: larger fish 5‑6 minutes, smaller fish 4‑5 minutes, seafood about 2‑3 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm in the oven if desired before serving.

5. 5.

   Serve garnished with lemon slices.
