Breaded calamari is a popular dish featuring tender squid rings coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and deep-fried to a crispy golden perfection. A staple in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, it has gained global popularity as a savory appetizer or snack. The dish typically includes squid, flour or breadcrumbs, eggs, and a blend of seasonings such as garlic, paprika, and black pepper. While squid is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals like zinc and B12, the breading and frying process can increase calorie and fat content. Depending on preparation, it may also contain higher sodium levels. For a lighter version, alternatives like baking or air-frying the breaded calamari can reduce added fats while preserving its satisfying crunch. Often served with zesty marinara or aioli dipping sauces, breaded calamari offers a delicious balance of textures and flavors, making it a go-to choice for seafood lovers.
