About Salt and pepper calamari

Salt and Pepper Calamari is a popular dish originating from Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, renowned for its bold flavors and crispy texture. This dish typically features fresh calamari rings coated in a seasoned flour or cornstarch mix, infused with salt, pepper, and sometimes chili flakes or additional spices for a subtle kick. The calamari is lightly fried to achieve a golden and crunchy exterior while keeping the meat tender. Often served with fresh lemon wedges and a side of dipping sauce, it balances savory and tangy flavors. Calamari is a lean protein source, rich in vitamins and minerals like B12, selenium, and phosphorus. However, its fried preparation can add extra calories, sodium, and fats. Pairing it with a fresh salad or limiting portion sizes can make the dish a more balanced choice for those mindful of their calorie and fat intake.
