About Fried squid

Fried squid, often referred to as calamari, is a popular dish in Mediterranean, Italian, and East Asian cuisines. It typically consists of squid rings and tentacles coated in seasoned flour or batter and deep-fried to a crisp golden brown. Often served with dips like marinara sauce, aioli, or lemon wedges, it offers a deliciously crunchy texture with tender squid inside. Squid is a lean source of protein, rich in essential nutrients such as selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain function and heart health. However, frying increases its fat and calorie content and may include trans fats depending on the oil used. Consuming fried squid in moderation can be part of a balanced diet, especially when paired with healthier sides or baked alternatives.
