“Calamari”
Calamari is a culinary treat made of squid that is native to Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisines that is made of squid. The most popular calamari dish in North America is fried calamari. The dish is relatively simple, with the squid cut into pieces, creating rings of seafood. The rings are then battered and deep-fried for just a couple of minutes.
Fried calamari is often served as a snack or appetizer and is sometimes added to appetizer platters.Calamari is generally garnished with parsley and lemon, and Italian restaurants often sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. In the United States, this dish is often served with marinara sauce. Turkish and Greek culinary traditions pair this dish with a cream sauce such as tzaziki.
