CRISPY FRIED CALAMARI RECIPE

Crispy Fried Calamari Recipe image

Crispy, succulent calamari rings, coated in seasoned flour and quickly fried to crispy perfection. Budget 30 minutes to soak the calamari in milk. This helps tenderize them while taming their fish smell. It also allows the flour coating to better stick on the rings. Be sure to read the post for more tips!

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound frozen calamari tubes (thawed)
Kosher salt
½ cup 2% milk
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon dry oregano
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Grape seed oil as needed
1 lemon (cut into wedges to serve)

Steps:

Slice the calamari tubes into ¾-inch thick rings.
In a medium bowl, stir 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt in ½ cup milk.
Add the calamari rings to the milk mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne (make sure the mixture is well combined).
Prepare a large colander and set it on top of a large bowl. Using a pair of tongs, take a portion of the calamari rings (about ½ of them) shake off excess milk and toss the calamari in the flour mixture. Toss the calamari to coat evenly. Put the coated calamari in the colander. Repeat with the rest of the calamari.
Turn your oven on a low 150 degrees F. Prepare a large sheet pan and set a wire rack on top. Top the wire rack with paper towel.
Heat 4 inches of grape seed oil in a small cooking pot (I used a 2.5 quart pot) to somewhere between 350 and 365 degrees F. To test your oil, drop one calamari ring, many bubbles will form around it and the calamari will begin to float.
Once your oil is ready, using a pair of tongs, gently add some of the calamari in and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the calamari from the oil and arrange it on the paper towel on top of your prepared wire rack. Immediately season with kosher salt, then transfer to your warm oven to keep warm while you work on the rest. Repeat until you have fried all the calamari.
Transfer the fried calamari to a serving plate and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice!

FRIED CALAMARI WITH FRIED LEMONS AND LEMON AIOLI

Fried Calamari with Fried Lemons and Lemon Aioli image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound calamari, bodies sliced into 1/2-inch rings and tentacles cut in half
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Neutral cooking oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, sliced thin (about 15 slices), plus lemon zest for garnish
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, plus some chopped, for garnish

Steps:

For calamari: Soak the calamari pieces in the buttermilk in a bowl for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
For the lemon aioli: Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Stir to combine and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
Preheat a deep-fryer or several inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
For the flour seasoning: Add the flour, paprika, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Drain the calamari and put into the flour mixture, making sure each piece gets coated with the flour. Dump all the contents into a colander and shake off any excess flour. Line a dish with paper towels and set aside.
In batches, add the lemon slices and calamari to the preheated oil and fry, mixing with a slotted spoon to prevent the calamari from clumping together, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Right before you take the calamari and lemon out of the fryer, toss in the parsley leaves carefully; this will cook very fast and can splatter, so stand back. Take all the contents out of the fryer to the lined dish and season with salt.
Serve with the aioli, garnished with the zest and chopped parsley.

CRISPY FRIED CALAMARI & AïOLI

Crispy fried calamari & aïoli image

Transport yourself to a seaside taverna with Mediterranean-inspired deep-fried squid rings and garlicky aïoli. Cooking this is easier than you think

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories Starter

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

500g squid, tubes and tentacles, cleaned
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
50g plain flour
50g cornflour
¼ tsp baking powder
pinch of cayenne pepper
150g mayonnaise
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
pinch of saffron
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

Cut the tentacles off the squid and put in a bowl. Slice the squid tubes into roughly 1cm thick rings and add to the bowl. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a low heat, ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full.
For the aïoli, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, saffron and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toss the squid with the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cayenne and ½ tsp salt. When the oil has reached 170C on a thermometer, or when a cube of bread is dropped in and turns golden brown in 30 seconds, deep-fry the squid in batches for 2 mins, or until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside on a tray lined with kitchen paper. Serve the fried squid with the aïoli on the side for dipping.
