1 lb (450g) squid, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola)
1
Prepare the Squid:
Pat the squid rings dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Batter the Rings:
Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dredge the squid rings in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them into the beaten eggs.
3
Fry the Calamari:
Heat a good amount of oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
In batches, carefully place the coated squid rings into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve:
Serve the calamari immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of dipping sauce.
