Thoroughly clean and devein the shrimp, ensuring any shells and heads are removed.
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the cod fillet into 12 equal pieces of around 16-17 grams each.
Clean the clams in cold water, discarding any that do not close when tapped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Gradually whisk in the sparkling water to the dry ingredients to create a smooth batter.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to maintain this temperature.
Dip the seafood pieces into the batter one at a time, allowing any excess to drip off.
Carefully lower the seafood into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried seafood and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the fried seafood on a platter with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your Gluten-Free Fried Seafood Platter while hot and fresh!
