Fry the rings, in batches, in the hot oil until they are crisp and golden, about 3 minutes or a little longer per batch. Drain on paper towels. Salt to taste. Keep the rings hot until all are fried.
Serve as soon as possible very hot, piled in a heated bowl, or, if you are serving liver, fish, or beef, directly on the meat.
