Instruction
- step 1
Cut the squid into rings about ½cm thick

- Mix together the garlic and mayonnaise, then place in a serving bowl
-
step 2
Pour some oil into a large pan until it comes about 7cm up the sides, but the pan is no more than a third full
- Place over a medium heat and let the oil warm up
- To test that the oil is ready, place a small piece of bread in the pan – it should sizzle when it touches the oil

step 3
Remove a handful of squid from the flour and shake off any excess
- Gently drop into the oil, then cook for about 3 mins until crisp
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper
- Repeat with the remaining squid
