Deep Fried Squid, often referred to as calamari, is a popular dish found in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. It consists of fresh squid sliced into rings or strips, coated in a seasoned batter, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Typically served with dipping sauces like marinara, aioli, or sweet chili, this dish is beloved for its crunchy exterior and tender, slightly chewy squid inside. Squid is naturally rich in protein and essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus, making it a nutritious seafood choice. However, frying increases calorie and fat content, especially if consumed in large portions or with heavy sauces. Opting for healthier cooking oils and limiting accompanying condiments can help reduce its impact on heart health. Delicious and indulgent, Deep Fried Squid is a flavorful treat best enjoyed in moderation.
