Steps:
- Add the oil to a wide pan and heat to about 325 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pat the calamari dry with paper towels.
- Combine the flour and cayenne pepper. Working in batches, toss 1/3 of the calamari in the seasoned flour. Transfer the calamari to a mesh strainer and shake off the excess flour.
- Carefully drop the calamari into the hot oil; the oil should bubble gently and the calamari should have plenty of room to swim around and fry gently. Do not crowd the pan or the oil won't come back up to temperature quickly. When done, the calamari should be very pale golden and tender. It should not look like little brown rubber bands. Remove the calamari from the hot oil and drain it on paper towels. Salt it immediately and keep it warm in the oven until all the calamari is done.
- Repeat in 2 more batches with the remaining calamari.
- Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Cut the calamari bodies into 1/4 inch rings and remove the tentacles. Put rings and tentacles in the milk and stir in the parsley. Allow to marinate for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat the oil to about 350 degrees or until a cube of bread turns golden brown in about 12 seconds when placed in hot oil. Remove calamari from milk and discard the milk. Toss calamari with the rice flour until well-coated; transfer to a bowl and toss with the eggs until well-coated. Sprinkle with a little bit of the salt and all of the black pepper. Transfer to another bowl and toss with the bread crumbs until well coated and dry enough to separate each piece. Add more bread crumbs if needed.
- Fry in batches in hot oil 20 to 30 seconds or until light brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon. Do not overcook. Transfer to paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve with Lemon-Caper Aioli and Romesco Sauce for dipping (recipes follow); garnish with wedges of lime.
- Lemon-Caper Aioli: makes 2 cups.
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend well. Lemon-Caper Aioli keeps for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, when kept in a jar with a tight lid.
- Romesco sauce:makes 4 cups, can be used with anything.
- Char the red bell peppers over an open flame, on a gas or charcoal grill, or in an oven broiler until the peppers are blackened on all sides. Remove most of the skin and seeds from the peppers.
- In a blender or food processor, purée the almonds, garlic, oil, vinegar, and chiles until smooth. Add peppers, replace the top, and pulse until the sauce is just a bit chunky. Salt to taste. This sauce will keep for 4 to 5 days if refrigerated.

Steps:
- Firstly, prepare a deep-fryer with a good vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees F, or use a medium size deep frying pan on high heat.
- Defrost calamari and rinse under cold running water.
- Cut calamari into 1/4 inch strips. If using fresh calamari, just cut into 1/4 inch strips. Pat dry calamari with paper towels.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, mix together flour and Panko bread crumbs.
- Add milk to a bowl and dip calamari in the milk.
- Toss calamari strips in flour/crumb mixture just to coat. You do not want to have a heavy coating as it could drop off when frying.
- Flash fry coated calamari in prepared deep-fryer or frying pan for about 15 seconds, deep frying in small amounts.
- In a frying pan, heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and Sambal Oelek and stir well, cover with a screen to prevent oil from spattering or splashing.
- Sauté flash-fried calamari for about 1 minute or until nicely light brown. Do not over fry as it could get chewy.
- Serve calamari with your favorite dip.

Steps:
- Wash and pat squid rings dry.
- Pour flour into zip lock bag along with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder: shake to mix.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and hot sauce (I use Texas Pete).
- Pour remaining flour in another zip lock bag.
- Working with a few rings at a time, shake in unseasoned flour, dip into egg/milk mixture, shake off excess, then shake in seasoned flour.
- Fry in hot oil (350 degrees) until a light golden brown. I recommend doing just a couple of rings at first as a taste test. Add seasoning to flour if required.
- After frying, place on paper towel to drain, and re-season with Tony's (optional). Just a little salt is fine as well.
- Note: I don't recommend using Tony's as the seasoning for the flour--it comes out too salty.

Steps:
- First, coat the calamari rings in corn meal, shaking them out to get rid of any excess.
- Then dip them into a mixture of the eggs and garlic.
- Lastly, dip them into the bread crumbs mixed with salt, coating them well, and shaking off any excess.
- Up to this point may be done in advance, and the calamari rings refrigerated for a couple of hours, until you are ready to fry.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil (the secret to crispy calamari is hot, hot oil, just below the smoking point.) Fry the rings (in batches) about 1 minute, or until they are golden.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- If you have a deep fryer it's best, but otherwise, make sure the oil is deep enough to cover the calamari.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges, garlic mayo, and marinara sauce.

Steps:
- Cut the tentacles off the squid and put in a bowl. Slice the squid tubes into roughly 1cm thick rings and add to the bowl. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a low heat, ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full.
- For the aïoli, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, saffron and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Toss the squid with the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cayenne and ½ tsp salt. When the oil has reached 170C on a thermometer, or when a cube of bread is dropped in and turns golden brown in 30 seconds, deep-fry the squid in batches for 2 mins, or until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside on a tray lined with kitchen paper. Serve the fried squid with the aïoli on the side for dipping.
