  • Chef's Tip

  • The most important thing about this dish is the quality of the squid, I always recommend that they be fresh and of a medium size.
  • You can also change the batter by trying other types of flour such as chickpea flour, widely used in southern Spain and which provides an extra crijiente. Or you can even try a mild tempura.
  • I also recommend that you squeeze the lemon on top of the squid just when they come out of the fryer, it will give them a point of acidity that I personally love.
