Worked in a fairly upscale Italian restaurant. We did two parts flour to one part semolina flour. We also put salt, pepper, and granulated garlic for the Fritto Misto. Fry it, toss it in Parmesan, a little salt, and parsley after it came out of the fryer and served with a aioli. People went crazy for it. We sold a ton of it, I hated prepping it though. It was 6.5 oz of calamari per serving, (4oz of the rings, and 2.5 of the tentacles) four shrimp, and people paid like 16$ for it. Edit: My math was indeed, not math-ing haha. Good catch. Edit 2: Agreed that it’s maybe not a super rustic and super authentic recipe, but the recipe is the owners family recipe. The Son currently owns and runs it, but his parents, are the ones who made the recipes and they immigrated over here to the US from Italy. They might have been altered slightly to better fit an American palate though as well. The mother (founder) is always there checking to make sure everything comes out perfect too.

[@meep5013]

This recipe sounds like it tastes waaaaaay better than the bland nonsense she’s trying to sell us on

[@salvatorenostrade3331]

​@meep5013 If your seafood is fresh enough, simple is the way to go for me. I don't like coating my super fresh ingredients with crazy flavors sometimes salt + pepper or with clams wine and garlic is good enough for seafood.

[@jrthiker9908]

@@meep5013 Nope, what she's describing is exactly how it's done in Italy. Never with anything else other than salt and lemon. No dipping sauces, aioli, garlic, cheese, or anything. When the seafood is this fresh, you don't want to gussy it up.

you can't fry in extra virgin olive oil, it will burn, so regular olive oil is cheaper and prob what she used...

Where I am, vegetable and sunflower oil both cost a bomb too. Like £4.50 for 750ml. That’s Pound Sterling. It’s like the price of cheap wine. Before the alcohol tax ruined that anyway.

The tentacles are the best ones. The texture is superb, you get the ultimate crunch of coating, and it hold onto more lemon juice. It’s perfect.

[@serenkeating7672]

Best calamari I've ever had was from Quinlan's in Killarney, which is in Kerry, Ireland. The plate is pretty much one massive pile of calamari, hot, fresh, beautifully seasoned coating on perfectly cooked squid. My sister and I, as children, made a very good attempt at eating our weight in squid rings every summer when we were there on holiday. It got a bit harder as we got older because a teenager weighs a damn sight more but we still do our best at every opportunity. Another amazing seafood restaurant, if you're ever out by Tralee direction, is Spa Seafoods. Their crab claws are absolutely to die for. A lot of what they serve is quite simple, but the skill with which everything is cooked is all the clearer for it.

Extra virgin olive oil actually has a really high smoke point. Above 400, shouldn't be an issue for frying.

Olive oil has a higher smoke point than you realise. It can reach 410f no problems. Well beyond 375f for deep frying.

It will also be more flavorful than a neutral oil and with so few ingredients it will make a difference.

Do not fry in olive oil…. Edit: For people who say “Italians have been using it for centuries” well “South Americans have been using cocaine or atleast chewing on the leaf for centuries also” doesn’t make either correct. I have heard both arguements when it comes to frying in olive oil. I choose not to because it typically has a lower smoke point.

[@ryantaylor6531]

Italians been using it for centuries

[@fishlover4523]

@@ryantaylor6531 does not mean it’s correct to fry in olive oil. There are frying oils and olive oil ain’t it. There are so many better options like grape seed oil. Grapeseed oil is a popular choice for frying due to its high smoke point of around 420-450°F (215-232°C). This makes it suitable for high-heat cooking methods such as frying, sautéing, and grilling. Olive oil has a lower smoke point than some other oils. The smoke point is the point at which an oil literally begins to smoke. Olive oil's smoke point is between 365° and 420°F. When you heat olive oil to its smoke point, the beneficial compounds in oil start to degrade, and potentially form health-harming compounds.. Just had to back myself up with facts. I’ve been to Italy before visited many times and my Abuela lived there for a number of years. I haven’t seen anyone deep fry in olive oil, neither has my Abue. It’s just not a suitable oil for higher temperatures.
