About Fried squids

Fried squids, often referred to as calamari, are a popular seafood dish enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean and Asian traditions. Typically made by coating squid rings or tentacles in seasoned batter or breadcrumbs and deep-frying them to a golden crisp, this dish offers a delightful combination of crunch and tender chewiness. Squid itself is a nutrient-rich source of protein, Vitamin B12, and essential minerals such as phosphorus and selenium, supporting muscle health, energy metabolism, and immune function. However, the frying process adds considerable fat and calories, especially when served with dips or sauces like aioli. Moderation is key, as the high sodium content and use of oil can impact heart health if consumed excessively. For a lighter variation, consider oven-baking or air-frying to retain the nutritional benefits of squid while minimizing unhealthy components.
