Serves 4

1 pound calamari (squid)
Salt and pepper
1 cup flour
Oil

Clean and cut calamari into rings. Season with salt and pepper and toss in flour until coated. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan and cook until the calamari is golden and crispy. Fry the calamari in small batches, making sure the oil is hot before starting your next batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with Tartar sauce and lemon wedges or with any mayonnaise based sauce for dipping.
