Heat oil in deep pan with basket until just smoking.

In a wide shallow bowl, mix half the calamari, half of the lemon slices and half the scallops. Sprinkle with 1 cup corn starch and toss quickly with hands to coat.

Toss into larger strainer with a handle and bat against hand to remove excess cornstarch. Drop coated sea food and lemons into oil and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 1 minute). Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
