How to fry squid deliciously

Squids are widespread cephalopods. They are the closest relatives of octopuses and cuttlefish. Many species of squid are edible and are subject to industrial and recreational fishing.
Squid meat contains a lot of protein, which is easily digested and almost completely absorbed by the human body. Taking into account the good taste and budget price, squids are in demand among consumers. This mollusk is used for preparing first and second courses, appetizers, and salads.

How to fry squid in a frying pan deliciously

To prepare two servings of pan-fried squid you need:

• 4 carcasses of frozen gutted squid, total weight about 600 - 700 grams;
  
• 50 ml soy;
  
• 1/2 tsp. pepper, ground;
  
• 1 tsp. curry;
  
• 1 tsp. dry herbs;
  
• 30 ml oil.

1. Thaw the squid at room temperature.
2. From inside, remove the remains of internal organs and transparent hard plates. This is a rudimentary shell. Pour boiling water over the squid. This technique will remove the top colored layer of skin.

3.Washed squids need to be marinated in a mixture of soy, pepper, curry and herbs. Marinate for half an hour.

4. It is important not to forget to cut the carcasses on one side. This technique promotes better marinating. To avoid cutting through the squid, you need to place a flat, wide knife inside the mantle.

5. Heat oil in a frying pan. Place the squid cut side down. Fry for 3 minutes.

6. Turn over to the other side and fry for a couple more minutes.

Fried squids are good both as an independent hot dish and as a cold appetizer.

You can also serve them with a side dish. Pan-fried squid goes well with rice.
