Golden-brown fried calamari rings served with fresh lemon slices on a plate.

Fried Calamari

Fried Calamari is one of the most delicious and beloved ways to prepare seafood. The light, tender meat of the calamari is covered in a crispy, seasoned breading, which perfectly complements the fresh, salty taste of the sea. Fried calamari is not only special but also a quick dish to prepare that works well as a delicious appetizer or main course.

The calamari is first cut to the appropriate size, then dredged in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs to create a crunchy, golden-brown coating. The calamari becomes truly delectable when served with lemon juice and a fresh salad. The dish is a perfect choice for summer barbecues or a light dinner.
