Step 1
Pat dry 1 lb calamari rings with paper towels. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Dredge each ring in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat. Place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 5 minutes. Fry rings in batches without crowding until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Drain on paper towels. Mix 0.5 cup mayonnaise with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley if you have them for the white sauce; serve with ketchup on the side.
Step 5
Serve hot with the white sauce and ketchup for dipping.
