About Fried baby squids

Fried baby squids are a popular seafood dish often featured in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Prepared by lightly battering and frying small, tender squids, they offer a crispy exterior with a delicate, chewy texture inside. This dish is typically seasoned with herbs, spices, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added flavor. Squid is a rich source of protein, essential vitamins, and minerals like vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy production and immune function. However, frying increases the calorie count and fat content, especially if served with creamy dipping sauces, making moderation key for a balanced diet. While fried baby squids provide an indulgent treat, baking or grilling them can be healthier alternatives to enjoy their natural flavors and nutritional benefits.
