Ingredients




3 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
12 pieces squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

Preparation

1 Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). 2 In a medium size mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, oregano, parsley, garlic, and black pepper. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture. 3 Place squid in oil for 2 minutes or until light brown. 4 Beware of overcooking, squid will be tough if overcooked. Also avoid cooking many pieces all at once, or the oil temperature would drop. 5 Dry squid on paper towels. Serve with wedges of lemon.
