Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fryer- For the coleslaw: In a large bowl combine the mayo, sugar, white vinegar and seasoning salt and mix well. Toss in the chopped cabbage, carrots and radishes and mix. Refrigerate.
- For the clam cake: Preheat a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F.
- Combine the fritter mix with the ocean clams and juice in a bowl. Add the hot water slowly until the batter is light and fluffy. With a 4-inch scoop, drop the clam cakes into the deep-fryer. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and set aside.
- For the seafood platter: Fry the french fries until golden, about 10 minutes. Keeping them separate, coat the codfish, scallops, shrimp, clams, calamari and onion rings in the clam fry breader, shaking off the excess. Fry until golden, in this order: codfish, 10 minutes, scallops, 9 minutes, shrimp, 8 minutes, clams, 7 minutes, calamari, 7 minutes and onion rings, 6 minutes. On a large platter, place the french fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce and two clam cakes. Top the french fries with the cooked calamari, scallops, shrimp, clams, fish and onion rings.
