Fried Calamari

Fried Calamari a menu item we look for when we go out to dinner. Cooking calamari is not difficult or complicated. The secret to a successful calamari is to buy frozen squid. Often, restaurants use the frozen kind even when they tell you it’s fresh. Why? because when you fry the fresh kind, it will be much more chewy. Also, adding rice flour and a little baking powder, to the batter will yield an even crispier calamari. Finally, it’s cheaper when you make them at home, and tastier! All you need with this delicious appetizer is a bottle of your favorite chilled white wine.
