Crispy and delicious seafood fritters are a great way to enjoy seafood. Perfect for lunch or dinner!

Main Dish

Steps

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and parmesan cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and add the sour cream. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix it until a thick batter has formed.
Fold in the seafood.
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about ¼ cup of the batter for each fritter, and fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Seafood Fritters

The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape; a loose batter can spread and make the fritters harder to turn.
Avoid crowding the skillet, which can lower the pan's heat and leave the fritters pale or greasy.
Let the fritters rest briefly on a wire rack after cooking to help keep their undersides crisp.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry sparkling wine
Its lively acidity and bubbles complement the golden, savory fritters without overpowering the seafood.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the coating may be less crisp after storage.
