Marinate calamari with the milk, chopped garlic, basil and marjoram for 1 hour. drain calamari in a colander with large holes, being sure no extra liquid is present.

Clean artichokes of the tough outer, loose leaves. Cut tops with a large knife to the choke (heart of artichoke).

Trim bottoms until 1-½ inches thick. Heat oil in a deep fryer or 4 quart saucepan until oil reaches 250°f.

Deep fry artichokes in hot oil (holding them down with a long fork) for 12-15 minutes or until tender. Do not crisp.

Remove and place bottom up on paper towels to drain. When cool to touch, using your fingers, gently open the artichoke leaves.

Raise the temperature of the oil to 325°f. Refry the artichokes until crispy and medium brown in color, approximately 1 minute.

Remove and let drain on paper towel to cool. Coat calamari with flour and deep fry in the same hot oil, handful by handful.

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Serve calamari and artichokes on the same platter. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh parsley.
