Step 2

Mix the garlic into the mayonnaise and place in a serving bowl.

Step 3

Pour oil into a large pan to about 7cm up the sides (no more than one-third full). Heat over medium heat until a small piece of bread sizzles immediately when added.

Step 4

Remove a handful of squid from the flour, shake off excess and gently lower into the oil. Fry for about 3 minutes until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining squid.

Step 5

Serve immediately with the garlic mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
