Introduction & history

Fritto misto di pesce is an Italian dish that translates to "mixed fried fish." It consists of a variety of seafood, such as shrimp, squid (calamari), small fish like anchovies, and sometimes larger fish fillets, such as goatfish, cod, and sole, coated in a light batter or flour and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The seafood is typically served with lemon wedges or a dipping sauce on the side. Fritto misto di pesce is often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course (second course) in Italian cuisine, especially in coastal regions where fresh seafood is abundant.
