Step 3 Make the fritto misto
Add oil to a large, deep skillet until it reaches a depth of about an inch. Heat the oil to 375F. Line a large baking sheet or tray with paper towels. Dip the seafood and vegetables into the batter in batches and add them to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on the bottom, then gently flip and fry until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to the towel-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining seafood and vegetables, making sure to give the oil a minute to heat back up between batches.
