Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate, co vered tightly, for up to 2 days, until ready to serve. Cut the squid into 1/3-inch rings. If the tentacles are large, halve or quarter them lengthwise. Refrigerate until ready to use. In a heavy bottomed straight sided 3 quart saucepan, about 8 inches in diameter , heat the oil to 360 degrees. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and graham cracker crumbs.
