The mixture should resemble crepe batter; if it is too thick add more water a few tablespoons at a time

Fry until lightly golden brown and crisp

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt

Repeat with the remaining squid and crab, dipping into the batter then frying in batches
