Fried Calamari

1 pound of fresh squid
3/4 cups of corn meal
1/4 cup of flour
salt and fresh pepper
spoon of garlic powder
1.5 inches of vegetable oil (in pan)
a lemon

Cut squid into rings, strips, and curly-cues as
desired (cut above the eye.)
Mix corn meal and flour in a plastic bag. Add
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste and
shake well.

Dry off squid and place in the bag. Shake
well and set aside.

Heat oil so that a small piece of bread will
float in it, not dissolve.

Take squid out of the bag a handful at a time
and fry for approximately 45 seconds before
removing. Dry off on paper towels and
repeat the process until the squid is all fried.

Serves 2 bipeds with lemon.
