- Rinse squid tubes and slice into fine rings about 5 mm wide, dry off on paper towels.
- Whisk together flour, mayonnaise, water, lemon pepper and salt to make a thin batter.
- Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a saucepan until medium-hot. Toss a few squid rings at a time in a small bowl of extra flour to give them a light dusting.
- Then dip into the batter, drain off excess and fry 1‐2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels. Cook in batches so the oil stays hot.
- Serve with delicious zesty dip and lime halves for squeezing.
For dip, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, zest and fresh dill. Season to taste and chill until required.
