Clean the squid by removing the head and tentacles from the body, then peel off the thin purple skin under running water
Cut the squid bodies into rings approximately 1 centimeter thick and leave tentacles whole
Pat the squid pieces dry with paper towels to ensure they fry crispy
In a shallow bowl, combine all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano
Heat olive oil in a deep pan or skillet to 170°C, ensuring it is hot enough for frying
Working in batches, coat the squid pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess
Carefully place the floured squid into the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy
Remove the fried squid with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges and tzatziki sauce
