Notes:

• Remember the key to having the perfect tastiest fried food is heating the oil to the right temperature. Between 175°C and 185°C is generally considered the best frying temperature. A useful trick to know if the oil reached the right temperature is to place the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil. The oil is ready when bubbles begin to appear around the tip of the handle.

• Do not overcrowd the pan, fry few squid balls at a time.
