Clean the fresh squid by removing the head and tentacles, then peel away the thin purple membrane from the body
Cut the squid bodies into uniform rings approximately half an inch thick, keeping the tentacles whole or halving larger ones
Pat the calamari rings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy frying
In a shallow bowl, combine all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano
Heat olive oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F, ensuring the oil is hot enough for proper frying
Coat the squid rings thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess
Carefully place the coated calamari into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding
Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges and accompanied by tzatziki sauce
