- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic minced, cloves

- If using frozen calamari/squid, defrost overnight in the fridge then drain off any excess liquid and pat dry with paper towels. If you're using whole squid, cut the tubes into thick rings with a sharp knife before dredging with flour and deep frying.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and black pepper.
- Add the squid to the flour mixture and dredge, making sure each piece of calamari/squid is completely covered and that the pieces are separate.
- Heat enough oil to fry the Calamari in a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, shake off the excess flour then add the calamari in batches and cook until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or a wire rack before serving.
- Combine the mayonnaise and garlic together in a small bowl.
- Serve the squid with garlic mayo and lemon wedges.
