Fried Squid

1 lb squid
salt
lemon juice
white pepper
Frying batter


Frying Batter With Beer

1 cup flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1 cup beer
2 whole eggs
salt
cayenne
pepper

Place dry ingredients in bowl.Make a well in the center. Add beer
and eggs and beat well. Let stand at room temperature 1/2 an hour
before using. Clean squids well, by removing the skin and the hard
piece inside it.  Scrub with salt, rinse and wash with lemon. Slice
it into 1/2 " rings.  I like to add a pinch baking soda to the the
squid. Let stand 1 hour.

Make batter and add 1 tsp dried parsley and 1 1/2 tsp dried tarragon.
Drain squid well and roll rings in flour, shaking off excess flour.
Dip them in the batter and deep fry in plenty of oil. Drain in
paper towels. Serve with tartar sauce.
