Plus, the ratio of ingredients for the breading results in the perfect crispy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two Methods for Cooking:<\/strong> I\u2019m giving you instructions for <strong>deep frying and for the air fryer<\/strong>. Both methods will produce a crispy, crunchy appetizer that everyone will love.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy to Make at Home:<\/strong> Calamari is inexpensive and readily available at most grocery stores.

We love it so much that we always have to order it, if we see it on the menu! It\u2019s also easy to make at home. <\/p>\n<p>You can find fresh calamari at most grocery stores in the seafood department. You can also find frozen squid in the freezer aisle. The key to making sure your calamari is tender is to first soak it in a milk and lemon juice mixture. Then, you\u2019ll bread it with a simple mix of flour, cornstarch, and seasonings. Fry it up in just minutes to a perfect golden brown. Its crispy goodness will have you coming back for seconds and thirds!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-you-ll-need-for-crispy-fried-calamari\">Ingredients You\u2019ll Need For Crispy Fried Calamari<\/h2>\n<p>The ingredients for this calamari recipe are simple. Other than the calamari, you probably already have what you need! It\u2019s all about the ratio of flour to cornstarch to get that delicious crispiness.\u00a0Exact measurements can all be found below in the recipe card.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calamari Rings:<\/strong> You can use either calamari rings that are sold already cleaned (seen below) or whole squid, which you cut into tubes before use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk and Lemon Juice:<\/strong> Soaking the calamari in a mix of whole milk and lemon juice will make it tender and also help the breading adhere to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour\/Cornstarch:<\/strong> For the breading, you\u2019ll need a mix of all-purpose flour and cornstarch for golden brown crispiness. The flour is what will fry up golden brown and the cornstarch will give the exterior that crispy crunch.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Dried Dill<\/strong>: Gives the perfect complimentary flavor to the squid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paprika<\/strong>: Adds a nice peppery flavor that gives a bit of heat. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt &amp; Pepper<\/strong>: To taste!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong> Vegetable oil for frying.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon Wedges:<\/strong> Serve with\u00a0lemon wedges to squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top for brightness in every bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Overhead shot of labeled ingredients.\" class=\"wp-image-266885\" title=\"Crispy, flavorful Fried Calamari is a delicious appetizer that tastes like something you would order in a fancy restaurant.

Then, toss them in the flour mixture. Next, place the breaded calamari rings onto a plate or sheet pan. Meanwhile, prepare a second plate or sheet pan by lining it with paper towels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry:<\/strong> Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot carefully place the battered calamari into the hot oil and fry them for about 3 minutes until they are golden brown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish Frying and Serve:<\/strong> Once you finish frying the calamari, place them onto a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan. Work in batches until you\u2019ve cooked all the calamari, then serve it fresh with lemon wedges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped is-style-numbered wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"266886\" alt=\"Overhead shot of calamari thawing  in a glass bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-266886\" title=\"Crispy, flavorful Fried Calamari is a delicious appetizer that tastes like something you would order in a fancy restaurant.

This tasty appetizer is something that you can easily make in your own kitchen, and it will be even better than any you get in a restaurant!\u00a0Here are a few tips and ideas to help you along the way:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calamari to Use:<\/strong> You can use calamari tubes and cut them into rings for the calamari rings. You can also use mixes with tentacles for this recipe. Thaw the squid all the way before you start breading and frying for the best results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the Air Fryer:<\/strong> To air fry, follow the steps up until you fry them. Instead, spray the breaded calamari with oil and place them into your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 minutes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serving Sauces:<\/strong> Calamari goes great with <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/easiest-homemade-marinara\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Marinara Sauce<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/tartar-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Tartar Sauce<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/tartar-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Tzatziki Sauce<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thaw First:<\/strong> If you are using frozen calamari rings, thaw them completely before using them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Overhead shot of plated calamari with marinara sauce on the side.\" class=\"wp-image-266274\" title=\"Crispy, flavorful Fried Calamari is a delicious appetizer that tastes like something you would order in a fancy restaurant.
