What You’ll Need - Serves 3-4
500g cleaned calamari and tentacles
1 cup cake flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1 Lemon
Vegetable or Canola oil for deep frying
Salt & Pepper
Prep - 20 Minutes
If you have calamari tubes, cut them in half or thirds depending on how big they are for quicker and more even cooking.
Season the Calamari with salt and pepper. Combine and allow to marinade for 15 Minutes.
Place the cake flour and corn flour in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the calamari in the flour and coat evenly. Allow it to sit in the flour while heating up your oil for deep frying.
Let’s Get Cooking - 10 Minutes
Heat enough oil in a pan or sauce pan/pot to deep fry the Calamari.
Once the oil is hot, add the calamari a batch at a time to make sure they cook evenly.
The Calamari takes no more than 2 minutes to cook so you just want to fry these until the coating is golden brown.
Drizzle some flaky salt over the cooked calamari and squeeze lemon juice over them.
Serve with an aioli dip and enjoy.
