Restaurant style fried calamari recipe image

Tender calamari, coated with seasoned flour and deep fried to perfection. A little squirt of lemon... a little dip in a favourite sauce... and you have the perfect appetizer!

Provided by Nelson Cardoso

Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs 908g defrosted or fresh squid rings
Vegetable or canola oil for deep frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried parsley
3 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp old bay seasoning
1/2 tsp flaked salt
1 lemon (cut in wedges)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oil (we used a deep fryer, but you can use your favourite large pot or dutch oven for frying) to 360 ºF.
  • Pat down the squid rings with paper towel to remove water.
  • In a large sealable freezer bag, toss in the flour, corn starch, oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper and old bay seasoning.
  • Seal the bag and toss to mix all the ingredients well.
  • Place about a third of the squid rings in the bag with the flour mixture and toss to coat the squid.
  • Shake the excess flour off the squid rings and place them in the deep fryer basket (or in the oil of vessel you're using to deep fry).
  • Place the basket in the oil and fry for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Give the basket a little shake or two while the squid is frying to loosen the rings from each other.
  • Lift the basket and carefully turn the rings onto a paper towel-lined dish to soak up the excess oil. If you're using a pot or dutch oven, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the rings onto the paper towel-lined dish.
  • Transfer the squid rings to a serving dish and lightly season with the flaked salt, by rubbing a pinch of the salt between your fingers, evenly over the squid.
  • Repeat the last 5 steps until all the squid rings are fried.
  • Serve the fried calamari hot, with wedges of lemon and a favourite sauce or aïoli.
