OK, so I lied. THIS is the last British asparagus for the season!A Friday night fritto misto of calamari, asparagus and onion rings, in an egg yolk & cornflour batter, seasoned with Old Bay, shallow fried in sunflower oil.
I microwaved the onion rings for a couple of minutes to soften them, and then cooled them before adding them to the batter. I didn't want raw onion!
Served with a big squeeze of lemon juice and a bowl of fresh, garlicky mayonnaise and a bottle of chilled prosecco.

I am near the end of a very nauseous pregnancy so no fried food for me right now. But I do love fried asparagus.
Oh now that is my kind of snack!
Fried asparagus?! Never would have thought. Sounds great!
Oh my gosh, yes! I'll take it...especially w/ that mayo...YUM!
Yum, great pub fare!
Ah, I love a good frito misto--this looks incredible.
That looks and sounds sooo good! Enjoy your asparagus while it lasts! And as for us down in the southern hemisphere, bring on spring!
I love an array of fried seafood in the summer. It's one of the most often-ordered appetizers at a Greek taverna.
MM - you have a much healthier diet than me!
Kat - it's a good Friday night sort of thing
Esi - you've got to try it.
Girli - the mayo was excellent.
Natashya - grease is good!
Deb - thanks!
Laura - we're onto broad beans now as our seasonal treat
Peter - my frying still needs practise. I need to apprentice myself to a Greek frymaster!
