Arrowhead squid can be found at most fish markets, but if they are not available, they can be replaced with southern calamari. Resist the frozen product; the flavour from fresh is unbeatable. Note that you will need to prepare the squid eight hours before cooking.

Ingredients

  • 400g cleaned arrowhead squid, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 5 egg yolks

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • vegetable oil for deep frying

  • 150g panko crumbs

  • 100g coarse fresh sourdough breadcrumbs

For the alioli

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 2 roasted garlic cloves

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 160ml olive oil

  • lime, to serve

Method

  1. Combine squid, yolks and garlic in a non-reactive container and refrigerate for eight hours.

    For the alioli, whisk together yolks, roasted garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice and mustard.

    Whisking continuously, add the oil, starting a drop at a time, then in a thin, steady stream, until incorporated. Season to taste.

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 175C.

    Combine panko and sourdough crumbs in a bowl and season to taste. Dip the squid in the crumbs, then deep-fry in batches, turning occasionally until golden (about 30 seconds).

    Season and serve hot with alioli and lime cheeks.
