Tips and suggestions
- Cooks Tips...
- If possible, buy whole squid with the skin intact and get your fishmonger to clean it for you. A shiny, pink speckled skin is a good indication of freshness. To dust the squid, we use a special flour from Southern Spain called 'farina especial para freir', which you can buy from good Spanish delis. If unavailable, substitute with equal amounts of plain flour and breadcrumbs mixed together.

Tip plenty of flour (or mixed flour and breadcrumbs) into a large bowl. Toss a large handful of squid in the flour to coat, gently shake off excess and then carefully add to the hot oil. Deep-fry in batches for 3 minutes or until crisp and golden.
3. Remove the squid and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat this, cooking the remaining squid in batches.
4. As soon as all the squid is cooked, sprinkle with a little salt and lemon juice. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
