Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder to create the coating mixture.
2. Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. Dredge the fish, shrimp, and squid in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
4. In a deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
