Ingredients
  • 2 pound Squid
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
Directions
  1. 1
    Clean the squid thoroughly, removing any internal organs and tough cartilage, then cut the body sacks into 1/2-inch wide rings.
  2. 2
    Rinse the squid rings under cold running water to remove any slime, then pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  3. 3
    Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  4. 4
    In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5
    Add a handful of squid rings to the bag, seal it, and shake vigorously until the rings are evenly coated in the flour mixture.
  6. 6
    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create a smooth wash.
  7. 7
    Place the Italian bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish.
  8. 8
    Dip the flour-coated squid rings into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged, then transfer them to the bread crumbs.
  9. 9
    Roll the squid rings in the bread crumbs until they are thickly and evenly coated.
  10. 10
    Carefully lower the breaded squid rings into the hot oil in small batches to avoid crowding and dropping the oil temperature.
  11. 11
    Fry for about 45 to 60 seconds, or until the rings are golden brown and crispy.
  12. 12
    Remove the fried squid with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  13. 13
    Keep the fried squid warm in a low oven while you finish frying the remaining batches.
  14. 14
    Serve immediately with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or marinara sauce for dipping.
