Calamari

Serving

Method

Preparation of Calamari

  1. 1

    Clean the Calamari

    Begin by cleaning the calamari. Remove the head and innards, and peel off the outer skin. Cut the body into rings about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Breading and Frying

  1. 3

    Bread the Calamari

    Take each calamari ring, coat it in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.

  3. 5

    Fry the Calamari

    Carefully place the breaded calamari into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the calamari and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the fried calamari hot on a plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.
