The oil should be heated to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Mix together flour, salt, oregano and black pepper in a medium size mixing bowl. If necessary, pat-dry the squid with kitchen towel. Dredge the squid through flour and spice mixture. Place squid in oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until light brown. Do not over-cook as the squid will become tough. Dry squid on paper towels.
