Tips for making the BEST fried calamari at home:

1. Soak the rings of calamari in 1/2 cup of 2% milk mixed with a
teaspoon of salt. Do this in the fridge a half hour before frying.

2. Coat the rings well with your flour and then allow them to sit
for 2 or 3 minutes before you fry them.

3. Make sure your oil is hot enough but not too hot...between 350
and 360 should do the trick.

4. We like to use about 1 tsp salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
for every 1.5 cups of all purpose flour.

5. Before serving, taste the calamari to see if it has a good flavor.
If not, add a little more salt on top of the finished product before
serving.
