Sure. I discovered Pando bread crumbs so that's what I do now.
Whip an egg w/dash of milk (depends on how much calamari you have. I use
about 1/2 c for 2 of us)
Add a generous dash of Tabasco.
Fill a bowl with flour (you can add a Cajun season blend, or plain), fill
another bowl w/panko breadcrumbs.
Soak frozen calamari in milk until thawed (learned this from ex's Greek
mother!), helps with 'fishiness.'
Put several pieces in milk/egg and toss to coat. W/fork remove and drop in
flour. Shake to cover. Return to egg/milk, w/fork remove and drop into
panko and shake to coat.
Deep fry until brown then sprinkle w/fresh lemon juice and serve
immediately.
I either use Sweet Chili Sauce from Asian store or make my own cocktail
sauce w/ketchup, horseradish and lemon. Hubby loves that my cocktail sauce
is almost white!!
Just an FYI, those pakno bread crumbs is what gives it that awesome crunch!
Amazing stuff!!

Jeanne,
I'm not a southerner but married one and am still looking for a good recipe
for fried calamari. I'd love yours if you are willing to share.
-Sarah, who has to say New Mexican cooking is probably my comfort food of
choice.
