Directions
Step 1
Slice the squid into even rings and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Step 2
Combine milk and flour to make a batter, adjust until you reach the desired consistency (not too thin, not too thick).
Step 3
Dredge the squid first in flour, then into the wet batter, and finally into the Pork Panko.
Step 4
In a deep pot, heat oil between 350-365 F, and deep fry calamari for about 1-2 minutes. You can test the temperature by dropping one calamari ring. If the oil bubbles and forms around it and the calamari floats, the oil is ready.
Step 5
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!
