Ingredients

Instructions

1. Separate the squid body from the legs (tentacles). Carefully pull out the guts from the body without breaking them, cut the guts off the legs, and set the legs aside for another use.
2. Pull the fin off the body and peel the skin from the fin and body. Slice the fin into 1/2-inch strips and the body into 1/2-inch rings. Pat the squid pieces as dry as possible.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, egg and water to make a batter.
4. Dip the squid in the batter, then coat it in the bread crumbs.
5. Heat the deep-frying oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat. Fry the squid until golden brown, turning once or twice, then remove from the oil.
6. Sprinkle the fried squid with salt. Serve with lemon wedges and mayonnaise.
