Step 1
Pat the 1 lb seafood dry with paper towels. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 1 tsp dried herbs.
Step 2
Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks; place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat 2 cups oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately, about 350°F. Fry in batches without crowding, turning once, until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve hot with lemon wedges if you like.
