Number Of Ingredients 13

For aïoli
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
24 Ritz crackers (about 3 ounces)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound small squid, cleaned
about 5 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Make aïoli:
  • In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, parsley, and garlic until combined well and season with salt and pepper. Aïoli may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • In a food processor pulse crackers with flour, salt, and sugar until finely ground and transfer to a bowl.
  • Cut flaps from squid sacs if attached. Cut flaps into 1/4-inch-thick rings. Pat squid dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a 3-quart heavy kettle heat 2 inches oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. While oil is heating, toss squid in flour mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Fry squid in small batches, turning it, until golden and crisp, about 1 minute, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Make sure oil returns to 375°F between batches.
  • Serve squid with aïoli and lemon wedges.

I'm allergic to squid, so I made this recipe with shrimp instead. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squid. I had some squid that I had cooked for another dish and I used it to make this recipe. It turned out great.

I'm not a fan of aioli, so I served the squid with a simple lemon wedge. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The squid is crispy and tender, and the aioli is amazing. I highly recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squid turned out rubbery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The squid was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the aioli was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the squid for a shorter amount of time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of squid, but I'm glad I did. The squid was surprisingly tender and the aioli was delicious.
