4
small fresh white fish filets like halibut, or cod cut into strips 1 inch wide by 3 inches long

pound fresh raw mixed seafood (octopus, squid, scallops, etc)

One pound of yuca cut into strips 1 inch wide by 3 inches long
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions
1.
In a pot full of cold salted water, cook the yuca until tender then remove and let cool. You should be able to insert a fork into the yuca without any effort, but they should not be falling apart. After they have cooled dust lightly with starch and deep fry until golden. Season with salt.
2.
Season fish and sea food with salt, pepper, and lime juice then coat with cornstarch or rice flour, make sure there arenât any clumps of starch on the fish or seafood, deep fry the fish first then the seafood in the oil until golden. Remove and drain on a sheet tray lined with paper towels.
