About the Recipe

With Hinode Fish Master, ensure your fish and seafood taste fantastic, are perfectly plump and firm, and have no unpleasant off-flavors.

Ingredients

  • Cleaned calamari 500 grams

  • Hinode Fish Master 100ml

  • Semolina flour ¾ cup

  • All-purpose flour ¼ cup

  • Sunflower oil 1 ½ cup

  • Salt 1/2-1 tsp



Preparation

  • Slice the calamari tubes into ½ inch thick rings.

  • Soak with Hinode Fish Master, leave for about 5 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid.

  • In a bowl, mix together the semolina and all-purpose flour.

  • While the oil heats in a deep frying pan to 340-356°F (170-180°C) (use a thermometer), prepare a wire rack lined with paper towels over a baking sheet for draining.

  • Toss a handful of calamari in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

  • Use a sieve to shake off any extra flour.

  • Gently lower the coated calamari into the hot oil and stir to separate the pieces. Fry for 1-1½ minutes, until they turn golden brown.

  • Remove from the oil and drain on the prepared wire rack. Season with salt while hot.

  • Repeat until fried all the calamari.

  • Serve with a lemon wedges.
