Calamari Is Referred To A Squid
Calamari is a culinary term in many countries. There are dozens of squid species across the world. What they have in common is that they’re easy to add and incorporate into our diets. Calamari can be added to rice dishes, noodles, soups, and other seafood dishes. It is also most commonly fried and served as an appetizer.
Fried Calamari Rings
The most popular way of cooking and preparing calamari is making battered and fried rings. They are often marinated and coated with a batter before being deep fried. Traditionally, they are served with a side of marinara sauce.
How Does Calamari Taste
Calamari doesn’t have a very “fishy” taste. It’s known for its firm, mildly sweet flesh and chewy texture. Sometimes, it can have a subtle nutty flavor. While it may be somewhat bland, calamari can soak up any flavors of the sauces, seasonings, and any other ingredients it’s cooked with.
