  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the calamari rings with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to tenderize.

    โฑ๏ธ 60 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Tenderizing the calamari ensures a more delicate texture.
  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the marinated calamari rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Coating the calamari ensures a crispy exterior.
  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC). Fry the calamari rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.

    โฑ๏ธ 2 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 350ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Fry in batches for even cooking and crispiness.
  4. 4

    Remove the fried calamari rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired and serve hot with lemon wedges and marinara sauce.

    AI Wisdom: Draining on paper towels helps keep the calamari crispy.
