A seafood basket typically includes a variety of fried seafood items such as shrimp, fish fillets, calamari, and scallops. These are often breaded or battered and deep-fried until crispy and golden. The basket is usually served with sides like French fries, coleslaw, and dipping sauces such as tartar sauce and lemon wedges to complement the flavors of the seafood. This dish is popular in seafood restaurants and as a casual dining option at beachfront eateries.
