If you are looking for something quick, simple and incredibly tasty, then you’ve just found it, ‘Bingo. The only problem you will have is, eating deep fried calamari is like sitting in the back row of the cinema with a tub of pop corn and your date! You forget about your date and just keep launching the tender calamari into your mouth. Its moreish and so satisfying with a generous squeeze of lemon and large pinch of salt. Apologies for the pictures, I had eaten most of it and forgot to take a quick snap. I’m a greedy guts but tell me something I don’t know!! Go and get yourself some calamari, subito and have a go at this super fast recipe.


400g cleaned squid plus tentacles
100ml milk
5 tbsp cornflour
5 tbsp 00 flour
1 tsp Maldon salt and a grind of black pepper
Sunflower or vegetable oil
Lemon wedges to spritz

1.      Clean and prepare the calamari.
2.      Cut the body into 1cm rings, use the tenticles too. They are my favourite as they crisp up.
3.      Leave the calamari rings and tenticles to sit in the milk for 2 hours if time allows, if not 20 minutes will be fine.
4.      Bring the oil up to temperature. Test the temp by tossing in a small cube of bread, if it sizzle then the oil is ready.
5.      Drain the calamari from the milk and pat dry.
6.      Coat the calamari in flour and fry in small batches.
Delicious with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of salt.
