Seafood basket
Seafood basket is a popular dish in many coastal regions and seafood restaurants worldwide. It typically consists of a variety of seafood items, deep-fried and served in a basket, often accompanied by chips or fries and a side of tartar sauce.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of a seafood basket are various types of seafood. These can include:
- Fish: Often a white fish like cod or haddock, which is battered and deep-fried.
- Prawns: These can be served breaded or battered and deep-fried.
- Calamari: Rings of squid, typically breaded and deep-fried.
- Scallops: These can be served breaded or battered and deep-fried.
- Crab: Often served as crab cakes or crab claws.
- Lobster: Sometimes included in more luxurious seafood baskets.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The seafood in a seafood basket is typically prepared by breading or battering and then deep-frying. This gives the seafood a crispy, golden exterior. The seafood is then served in a basket, often with a side of chips or fries and a dipping sauce, typically tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of the seafood basket around the world. In the United States, it is often served with coleslaw and hush puppies. In Australia, it is a popular beach-side meal and may include local seafood like barramundi or flathead fish. In Japan, a seafood basket may include tempura prawns and fish.
