Step 1
Cut the 0.5 lb fish into 2-inch chunks and the 0.5 lb squid into rings; slice the 1 zucchini into 3-inch sticks. Pat everything dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup cold water, and 1 tsp salt until smooth (batter should be lumpy, not overmixed).
Step 3
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles immediately, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Dip fish, squid, and zucchini into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place in hot oil in batches—do not crowd the pan.
Step 5
Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
