About Calamari balls

Calamari Balls are a flavorful appetizer rooted in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, combining finely chopped squid with breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, and spices. These bite-sized delights are typically shaped into spheres and deep-fried to achieve a crispy golden exterior while maintaining tender, savory insides. Rich in protein and essential nutrients like selenium and B vitamins, squid offers health benefits but may be high in cholesterol depending on preparation methods. Calamari Balls' calorie count can vary depending on frying oil and portion size, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Alternatively, baking may provide a lighter option. Often served with dipping sauces like marinara or aioli, they reflect the versatility and global appreciation for seafood cuisine.
