Crispy RI Squid Ingredients

Method

Crispy RI Squid Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine sliced plums, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aioli

    In another bowl, mix the egg yolk, mayonnaise, chopped tarragon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined, then refrigerate until ready to use.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Squid

    In a shallow dish, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the squid rings in the mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Squid

    In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated squid in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the crispy squid hot, topped with fennel pollen, alongside the marinated plums and tarragon aioli.
