Ingredients

  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
  • 12 pieces squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
  • 1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

Make it step by step

  1. Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, oregano, parsley, garlic, and black pepper. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.
  3. Place squid in oil for 2 minutes or until light brown.
