Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, calamari rings, and white fish fillets. Cut the fish fillets into thick strips if they are not pre-portioned.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. This will be the dry coating mixture.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and add the lemon juice and water to make a wet batter.
Dip each piece of seafood first into the wet batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the dry mixture. Press the coating onto the seafood gently to ensure it adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Fry the seafood in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Shrimp and calamari should be tender, and the fish should flake easily.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the seafood from the oil and transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow the seafood to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve the platter warm, with a wedge of lemon or sugar-free dipping sauce of your choice.
