A tasty fried squid, the recipe.
A few weeks ago, passing by the fish counter of a supermarket near home, there were these beautiful fresh squid that I bought to make fried.

Ingredients

– Squid (body and tufts);
– Flour;
– Seed oil (but I'm sure you can also get an excellent result with an air fryer);
– Salt;
– Lemon;

Preparation

The preparation is really very simple: first we clean the squid (if we haven't already had the fish counter staff do it) and quickly pass them under running water.
A friend told me that cuttlefish, squid and octopus (even if fresh) should always be put in the freezer for a couple of days to soften their fibres. In this case I didn't do it and I assure you that the final result was soft enough for my taste.

We cut the body into rings and leave the small tentacles whole.
Now we throw everything in a dish with the flour and knead everything trying to cover them evenly. Too much flour is not necessary and then it will remain to "dirty" the oil during cooking (you can use a sieve or a colander to avoid too much flour remaining).

Now in a fairly tall pan we put the oil to fry (better if you have a fryer or maybe an air fryer) and once it is hot enough immerse the squid.
Try not to cook them all at the same time to avoid the oil temperature dropping too much.

I, or rather my wife, like them well cooked so we left them to cook for about ten minutes.
