Greedy Tips:

• I soaked my squid rings in milk over night to make sure they were as tender as possible when fried
• If you don’t have a deep fryer, use a deep pot and heat the oil to 350-375 degrees
• It’s best to have this fresh, not left over, as you may or may not know some seafood reheated can become rubbery. However if you must reheat this do it quickly in a toaster oven or oven, never a microwave.
