Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 1/4 pounds squid, cleaned tubes only
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons superfine cracker meal
Lemon wedges, for serving
Chili Lime Salsa, recipe follows

Instructions

Heat at least 4 inches of oil in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven or a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. (Oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan.)
Chop the squid fillets into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add the chopped onion, scallions, cheese, egg, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Add bread crumbs into the mixture and form into 1 1/2-ounce balls. Dredge the balls in the cracker meal and lay on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan to firm. Carefully drop squid balls into the fryer and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Arrange them on a platter with lemon wedges and serve with the chili lime salsa on the side.
