FRIED CALAMARI ITALIAN-STYLE

Crispy crunchy fried calamari  can be found in almost any Italian restaurant in the throughout the world.


Though it can seem to be a little intimidating, it’s very easy to make at home.

Cleaning the calamari can take a little getting used too. In some stores you can find it cleaned and ready for cooking or even frozen or pre-breaded which I don’t recommend. Fresh is always best.

Just make sure you don’t overcook the calamari or it will get tough and chewy.

Your aiming for tender and crisp.
