• 250g squid rings
• 100g flour
• 1 tsp salt
• sparkling water, ice cold
• oil for frying
• 2 crusty white rolls
• lemon wedges and mayo

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Pat the squid completely dry and season it.
2. Whisk the flour, salt and just enough ice-cold sparkling water to make a thin, single-cream batter.
3. Heat the oil to 190°C. Hotter than you think — squid needs speed or it turns to elastic.
4. Dip and fry in small batches, 90 seconds, until pale gold. Not deep brown.
5. Drain, salt, and pile into the roll. No lettuce, no tomato — Madrid would object.
6. Lemon and a smear of mayo. Eat standing up, ideally near a bus stop.
