Directions

Pre-heat fryer to 375°.
Place the first four ingredients in a bowl and allow to marinate for 10-20 minutes.
Combine the flours in a separate bowl and mix well.
Before frying, place all balsamic butter sauce ingredients in a large sauté pan and keep warm on low heat.
Working in two batches, place half of the calamari mix into the flour bowl and toss vigorously to evenly coat everything using your hands to separate the tentacles and tubes.
Using the fryer basket over the flour bowl, sift the calamari until excess flour is removed.
Deep fry for about 5 minutes until light brown and crispy, then toss in the Balsamic butter mixture.
Working quickly, fry the second half the same way as the first.
Gently toss all calamari in the Balsamic butter and serve immediately.
