Mixed Fish Fry - {Fritto Misto Di Pesce} Recipe - Cooking Index
Fritto misto di pesce, a dish composed of several types of fish, clams, shrimp, squid, and smelts, was always the last dish to be served on Christmas Eve. Any firm fish, however, is well suited to this cooking method. To make a successful fritto misto remember the cardinal rules: Maintain the cooking oil at a constant temperature to ensure even browning, and fry pieces of fish or shellfish of the same size together to ensure even cooking.
Cuisine: Italian| Vegetable oil - for deep-frying | ||
| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Unbleached all-purpose flour - more or less |

| 3 lbs | 1362g / 48oz | Assorted firm fish fillets and shellfish - fish cut into |

In a deep-fryer or large heavy pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees.
Mix the flour and salt on a plate. Dredge the fish and shellfish in the flour, shaking off the excess. Fry in batches until golden brown, and remove to brown paper to drain.
