Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped

12 pieces squid, cleaned and sliced into rings

1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).

In a medium size mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, oregano, parsley, garlic, and black pepper. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.

Place squid in oil for 2 minutes or until light brown.

Beware of overcooking, squid will be tough if overcooked. Also avoid cooking many pieces all at once, or the oil temperature would drop.

Dry squid on paper towels. Serve with wedges of lemon.

This calamari is perfect with Marina or aioli sauce! Yum!
