In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour and olive oil together. Add enough water  
to thin out the batter but not too thin. Season with salt and pepper. Leave  
the batter for 30 minutes, then fold in the egg whites. Season all the  
seafood and vegetables with salt and pepper. Dip each piece of seafood in  
the batter, letting the excess drip off. This will be very messy so have  
plenty of towels on hand. Preheat the oil. Fry the fish in batches, starting  
with the calamari and ending with the seabass. You might want to have two  
stockpots or large skillets of oil on to speed up the frying process. After  
each batch of frying, make sure that the oil comes back up to temperature.  
Dip the vegetables in the batter, letting the excess drip off and fry until  
golden−brown about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all fried items from the oil and  
drain on paper−lined plates. Season every item with salt and pepper. Spoon  
the Mariana sauce over the bottom of a large platter. Pile the fried seafood  
and vegetables on top of the sauce. Garnish with drizzles of aioli, cheese  
and parsley. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings
