Fried Calamari

Heat the oil in a deep pot (so any oil that pops won’t pop around your kitchen). Dry the calamari very well with paper towels. Slice into even-sized rings (about 1/4-1/2 inch thickness). Pour the flour into a medium-sized bowl and season with just a sprinkle of salt. Toss the calamari in the flour, shaking off the excess. Once the oil is hot, drop a few pieces of calamari into the oil—do not crowd the pot. When the calamari turn a light brown color they are done, about 4 minutes. Pull them out with a slotted spoon and place on a plate covered with paper towels to catch the excess oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and enjoy!
