About Grilled calamari

Grilled calamari is a flavorful seafood dish popular in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian and Greek traditions. Made by lightly seasoning fresh squid with herbs, garlic, olive oil, and citrus, it is typically grilled to perfection, producing tender rings or tentacles with a subtle smoky char. Low in calories and high in protein, calamari is also a source of essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy production, bone health, and antioxidant defense. Olive oil, commonly used in preparation, adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, grilled calamari can vary in healthfulness depending on added oils or sodium used during seasoning. Unlike its fried counterpart, which is heavier and higher in fats, grilled calamari offers a lighter alternative that retains its nutritional value while delivering vibrant flavors. Its versatility makes it a popular component of salads, appetizers, or entrée plates, perfect for a balanced, nutrient-rich diet.
