Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

One 48-ounce bottle vegetable oil, or more as needed
2 pounds cut calamari
6 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
Lemons and marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

Set a deep fryer to 450 degrees F. Fill with vegetable oil.
Rinse calamari, then strain.
Make a wash in a bowl with eggs, milk, salt and pepper. With a whisk, beat all the ingredients until fully combined, about 1 minute. Add the calamari and let it soak in the mixture for a few minutes. Put flour in another separate bowl.
Scoop out 2 cups calamari with a strainer, then transfer to flour. Toss calamari gently in flour, making sure each piece of calamari is evenly coated. Transfer to a dry strainer and shake off excess flour. Repeat with remaining calamari.
In small batches, fry the calamari until golden, then drain on a paper towel. Plate the calamari and serve with fresh lemons and marinara sauce.
