Cooking method

Step 1:

Rinse the squid and peel off all the membranes. To help the membranes come away easily, put the squid in a bowl of warm water or clean it under hot running water from the tap.
Step 2:

You can remove the membrane inside the squid by slitting the body open, as shown in the photo.
Step 3:

Cut the squid into strips. Stir the paprika and salt into the flour, beat the eggs lightly, and put out the breadcrumbs. Go easy on the salt — squid has a mild flavor, and too much salt will just get in the way.
Step 4:

Start dredging the strips, first in the flour.
Step 5:

Then in the egg.
Step 6:

And finally in the breadcrumbs.
Step 7:

For now you can lay the strips out on a cutting board.
Step 8:

Pour vegetable oil into the pan (olive oil is a good choice, since it holds up well to heat), about 1–1.5 cm (½ inch) deep.
Step 9:

Fry the squid strips on both sides until golden.
Step 10:

To drain off the excess oil, you can set the strips in a colander.
Step 11:

Or on a paper towel.
Step 12:

And that's it — DONE!
Step 13:

Enjoy!
