Default breading calamari

Hello all.

We've started serving calamari as an appetizer. We get frozen tentacles,
thaw them, cut them into rings, bread and fry them.

These things are a big PITA. We first flour, then dunk in eggwash, then
bread. The rings are prone to "closing up" and sticking together and not
getting floured, dipped, or breaded properly. Currently we use a cooking
fork to hold 8-10 rings at a time- 4-5 on each tine. This is time
consuming. They close up. They stick together. They fall off the fork. I
dread making them.

Surely there has to be a better way. I even tried using a bag to
shake-n-bake-style bread them once, but it was no good. Pre-breaded
calamari that we've tried is crap. No flavor at all.

Anyway, what is a faster technique that you've used to bread these
critters?
