Step 1
Pat squid and fish dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Pour flour into a shallow bowl. Toss squid and fish in flour until evenly coated, shaking off excess.

Working in batches, slide seafood into hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per batch.
Step 5
Transfer fried seafood to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
