1. make sure the squid pieces are completely defrosted

2. beat an egg and set aside for the batter

3. heat sunflower oil in a frying pan - make sure there´s enough oil to deep fry the squid

4. cover the squid pieces in egg, flour and breadcrumbs then fry in hot oil

5. Remove the fried squid from the frying pan and serve on a plate with a few pieces of lemon

 

Tips and ideas:

• Frozen squid is normally bought in thin circular slices or strips - both work well for this recipe
• If you want to use fresh squid you can, but make sure you clean it properly. It probably isn't worth the extra bother, because the end result has almost the same flavour and texture.
• When you take the fried pieces out of the oil, put them first on a plate with kitchen roll to absorb excess oil.
