Salt and pepper squid

After a busy morning clambering around the walls in Byker and eating croissants in Morrisons, we decided you needed a little bit of exotica for lunch...

We used:

one large squid (preferably with all the internal stuff taken out by the fishmonger), sliced into rings
75g plain flour
lots of freshly ground salt
lots of freshly ground black pepper
a small pan, with about 1.5cm of oil

Put the flour, salt and pepper into a freezer bag, and shake it about to mix. Stick the squid rings (such a lovely sounding phrase) in the bag, and give it all a good shake (while holding the top closed, obviously).

Stick the pan on the heat, until the oil is sizzling. Drop the rings carefully into the pan, and pull out after a couple of minutes when they are golden brown. Drain on a piece of kitchen roll.

Eat with some salad, and lots of homemade bread and butter.
