This crowd-pleasing appetizer couldn't be easier to prepare at home. You can find fresh squid at most seafood markets or in the freezer section.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds cleaned squid
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Marinara sauce, warmed, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Thoroughly pat the squid dry with paper towels. Slice the bodies into 1/2-inch-thick rings and lay on a paper towel-lined baking sheet along with the tentacles; pat completely dry.
  • Fill a large saucepan halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚F. Whisk the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the squid in the flour to coat. Transfer the squid to a plate, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Working in batches, fry the squid in the hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on clean paper towels.
  • Serve the squid with warm marinara sauce and lemon wedges.

I didn't have any cornstarch, so I used flour instead. The calamari still turned out crispy.

The calamari was a bit overcooked, but the dipping sauce was delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover calamari. I had some leftover from a seafood dinner, and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great!

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. The calamari is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the dipping sauce is addictive.

I've tried many fried calamari recipes, but this one is by far the best. The calamari is so tender and flavorful, and the coating is perfectly crispy.
