After having cleaned lampascioni, wash them with water.

It would be better to leave them in the water for a whole night to eliminate the excess of bitter in the taste and the day after clean them again.

Dry and nick them in 4 parts. Put them in plentiful hot oil, let them open like  a rose during the cooking.

Drain them on assorbing sheets.

Serve them hot with not too much salt and pepper.
