About Calamari fried

Calamari Fried is a popular appetizer or snack rooted in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. This dish features squid rings coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb mixture, then deep-fried to golden perfection, yielding a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. Often served with marinara sauce or aioli for dipping, it combines seafood richness with savory textures. Squid is naturally low in fat and calories, providing protein, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support metabolism and immune health. However, the frying process significantly increases its calorie and fat content, making it less suitable for those seeking a heart-healthy diet. Moderation is key, as the dish's sodium content can vary depending on seasoning and dipping sauces. With its satisfying crunch and zesty flavors, fried calamari remains a cherished indulgence in global cuisine.
