Where to find ingredients
Look for cleaned squid rings at the seafood counter or fish market. The flour, eggs, oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and spring onion are easy to find in the supermarket; if needed, use panko as a substitute for breadcrumbs, but the original breadcrumb coating is best.
Preparation method
- Season the cleaned squid rings with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- In a bowl, dip the squid rings in the beaten eggs.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the egg-dipped squid rings in the flour mixture, making sure they are well covered.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the breaded squid rings in the hot oil until golden and crispy.
- Remove the fried squid rings and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Serve the breaded squid rings sprinkled with chopped spring onion.
