Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder together.

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring in the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
