Tonight I cooked some calamari (squid in batter) and was well impressed with the results, melt in your mouth.
If all you have ever eaten are the “bake” in the oven ready battered calamari or under the grill “cooked” squid rings, then cooking fresh squid is something you just have to try.
You will find there is no comparison.
So take some prepared squid; you can prepare it yourself, or ask your fishmonger or buy it freshly prepared.
In a bowl mix some self-raising flour, some milk and the yolk of an egg (or you can use a beer batter). I also added some grated parmesan (just to be different).
Then coat and cook the squid in a pan of hot oil.
Serve straightaway with lemon segments, otherwise the cooked squid will go rubbery or the batter will go soft.
Delicious.
