To prepare; Slice the squid head open. Give the sides a few cuts. Place these with the legs in a bowl with garlic, black pepper, calamansi juice, and fish sauce. Mix well.

Let this marinade for 30 minutes while you prepare the batter. In a shallow plate mix together all purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

After marinating, mix in the eggs. Pierce the heads and legs with barbecue sticks. Repeat until all the squid have been ‘barbecued’.

Coat these with the flour mixture. Then deep fry in a pan with hot oil until it looks golden. Flip to cook evenly. Make sure to do these in batches.

Serve and enjoy with your favorite sauce!
