Instructions

1. If using frozen rings, thaw them fully and drain off any excess liquid.
2. Put the calamari rings in a bowl, pour in the milk and make sure every ring is submerged. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. In a plate, mix the flour and cornstarch with the paprika, black pepper and oregano.
4. Coat each ring thoroughly in the flour mixture, then set on a plate.
5. Pour oil into a small saucepan to a depth of 3-4 inches and heat over medium-high. Aim for 350°F; this takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Check with an instant-read thermometer, or drop in a ring: when it bubbles and floats up, the oil is ready.
6. Once the oil is hot, fry a few coated rings at a time for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Move the fried calamari to a wire rack, salt it, and fry the remaining rings. Serve right away.
