Step 1
Combine ground shrimp and fish, garlic, ginger, and scallions in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet all four edges with water.
Step 3
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to form a small hat shape.
Step 4
Whisk together peanut butter, sweet soy sauce, vinegar, and 3 tbsp warm water until smooth.
Step 5
Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C), checking with a deep-fry thermometer.
Step 6
Working in batches of 6, fry batagor for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and they float to the surface.
Step 7
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
Step 8
Arrange batagor on a platter and serve warm with peanut sauce on the side or drizzled over top.
