Calamari Fritto

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the flour, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. 2
   Dip the calamari strips in the milk.
3. 3
   Dust the strips with the seasoned flour. (I put the calamari in a zip lock bag with the flour and gave them a good shake to coat.)
4. 4
   Fill a heavy sauce pan with vegetable oil to about 4 inches up from the bottom. Heat the oil on the stove to 350 degrees, keeping a thermometer in the oil to prevent overheating. (A deep fat fryer is easier.).
5. 5
   Fry the calamari 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook or you'll have chewy and tough calamari.
6. 6
   Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and serve immediately.
