• In a third bowl, we beat eggs.
• Then, we remove the calamari rings from the buttermilk and dip it into beaten egg, and after that with the flour mix.
• In a deep fryer set at over 320C 360 C, we add filled with 2 cups of oil (500 ml) and fry the calamari rings until their colour turns brown (3-5 minutes).
• While waiting for the calamari rings to get fried, we create a unique sauce mixing in a bowl preserved whitefish roe, onions, eggs, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil.
