Fried fish mix ( Fritto misto di pesce)


This recipe is a must of holiday dinners, expecially in my zone ( Rimini- Adriatic Riviera).

It's so tasty, surely not dietetic but you know, when you're on holiday calories don't count...

You can see whole families at restaurants sharing generous portions of this fried mix: the most common mix is made of shrimps and squid rings but you can add anchovies (fresh, not salted), little fish of any kind, even some vegetables like courgettes' sticks.


For 4 serves you need:


7 oz. squid rings


7 oz. cleaned shrimps (just leave tails)


5 oz. anchovies


5 oz. courgettes chopped in sticks


flour


2 lemons


salt


frying oil


If the fish is wet dry it with kitchen paper, pass it in the flour and shake a little to keep exceeding flour off.
Do the same with courgettes' sticks.

Fry fish and vegetable in a large pan filled with hot frying oil, not too much fish altogether, rember that courgettes need few minutes more than fish to get ready.

Drain the oil putting the fried fish on kitchen paper, add salt and serve immediately with lemon segments.
In Italy there are many different fried mix, this is the most famous but sooner or later I'll post even others ^^.

  3. A specialty I would most definitely enjoy. Seafood is one of my weaknesses.
