In another bowl, beat eggs.

In a third bowl, place breadcrumbs.

Remove calamari from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.

Dip each calamari ring into the egg, then coat with the flour mixture.

Next, dip the floured calamari into the egg again, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F until shimmering.

Fry calamari in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Remove calamari and drain on paper towels.

Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with parsley.
