Clean and prepare the squid by removing the head and innards.

Slice the squid into rings or keep whole if preferred.

In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Dredge the squid in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs.

Coat the squid in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even layer.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the squid in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the squid and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
