In a large bowl, combine the 00 flour and semolina flour. Toss the zucchini strips in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

STEP 2

Heat sunflower oil in a large, wide pan over medium-high heat. Fry the zucchini strips until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

STEP 3

Clean and cut the calamari into rings, peel and clean the shrimp (keeping them whole), and cut the cod into cubes.

Various raw seafood including shrimp, squid rings, white fish fillets, and a small squid, arranged on a wooden cutting board.

STEP 4

Toss all the seafood in the same flour and semolina mixture until lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

STEP 5

Fry the seafood in batches until golden and crispy, a few minutes per batch, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Remove and drain on paper towels.
