Method

Cut the squid pouches into thick rings. Pat dry on kitchen paper.
Pour the water into a bowl and sift over plain flour and a large pinch of salt.
Whisk well until smooth.
Dip the squid rings in the batter mix, then deep-fry, in batches, in hot oil for 2-3 mins until crisp and golden.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, a squeeze of lime or lemon juice and some chopped fresh parsley. Serve with garlic mayonnaise.
