Equal parts plain and corn
Equal parts plain and corn flour. Put peppercorns. salt and chilli flakes in frypan for a couple minutes, bash these in a mortar and pestle. Combine with flour.
Dip squid in egg wash, into flour mix, then deep fry for about 30seconds in very hot oil, preferably not olive oil.

Put flour in a bag, add
Put flour in a bag, add salt, add pepper, add squid, close off bag, shake around. Then heat pan, add a dollop of butter and some oil. Then just put the squid in a few pieces at a time, lighty browning each side. Simple, and more importantly tasty :D. Theres probably more complicted recipes out there though. Oh, and you always need more salt and pepper than you think (well, least more than I usually think)
Edit: Brody, surprised you'd say corn flour, last time I had it with corn flour and it was horrible 'flour-ey'. Though I didnt do the half-half mix, so maybe thats what makes the difference.

Mmmmmmmm Yes!
Simple but very effective and a great favourite of mine. I agree with the flick of chillie in there and please, don't overcook. Nothing worse than squid comparing with boot leather. What a great dish!

mmmm.. boot leather squid
next time you want to stop that from happening, cut your squid up, mash a kiwi fruit (or pineapple.. works the same) mix it in with the squid for no more that 10 minutes (5 might be advisable if the squid hasnt been frozen previously) wash well in cold water then do whatever you were going to do with it.
Works a treat... it's something I used to do when I was still working as a chef. But be advised... if you leave it in for more than 15 minutes, the squid will hold together when cooked, but have the consistency of mush.

Yep, an enzyme in it
Yep, an enzyme in it dissolves proteins. As well as kiwi and pineapple, mango and papaya have the same enzyme as well.
Another thing i've heard for squid thats not super fresh is to leave it in a bowl of milk overnight. Tried it once to a few day old squid rings and came out good (but I havent had a few day old squid rings without it for comparison though).

Milk does has similar
Milk does has similar enzymes in it, takes a lot longer to work than kiwi fruit and the rest the break down the tissue. You'll find that most restaurants store their squid in milk. We used to have a bucket of squid rings covered in milk when I was an apprectice at the OBH in cottesloe.
Few day old squid without the milk probably wouldnt be too bad, assuming the squid was fresh. All these softening techniques like milk and kiwi fruit are best used for frozen squid, fresh squid shouldnt require it at all as long as it's not overcooked.

Yummmmy I've just had
lunch and I'm hungry reading all you blokes recipes. My favourite is Bob's recipe
1. Breadcrumbs
2. Olive Oil
3. garlic steak powder (Spencer's is good hint of chili or put chili flakes in)
4. Salt and Pepper
Combine 1, 3, & 4 then put as much oliver oil in to make not a dry paste with will hold shape when you squash it into a ball. We always use squid that has been frozen,
1. Cut squid into squares
2. Pat breadcrumb mixture on either side of squid, put into large handle grill (like toasting bread on camp fire grill) then put on grill of BBQ cook quickly then eat,
ps......also works on the tentacles.

Dipping sauce...mmmmmm
Nuoc Cham 1 spoon sugar 1 spoon water 1 spoon fish sauce 1 spoon lime juice pinch chilli powder bit of crushed garlic This sauce is Vietnamese and is great with squid. My tip for squid is dont use olive oil. Grapeseed/Canola has a higher smoke point so the oil can be hotter.
