Fried Calamari
A common preparation all over the world, fried calamari rings are most recognizable at Italian American restaurants, where they are breaded in flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, and served with lemon wedges and marinara sauce for dipping.
Calamari is unlike any other seafood, with thin, tough flesh, that can be transformed into tender meat if cooked well. The worlds oldest cuisines have long established techniques for getting the most out of the animal: China and Italy have been frying it up for centuries, but in Greece they stuff the entire squid cavity with rice and herbs, while Japan has countless raw and cooked calamari preparations.No matter where you are, however, it is likely you will find calamari nestled in a seafood stew, tossed with noodles, or fried in bite size pieces.
What Is Calamari?
Calamari means squid in Italian. In English, calamari is a culinary term for squid meat, just as pork and beef refer to pig and cow meat, respectively. The word was borrowed from the Italian in the early 1800s, so it is fitting that the breaded and fried calamari appetizer at Italian American restaurants is the most common preparation of squid in the United States.
Like their cuttlefish and octopus cousins, squid are cephalopods recognizable for their elongated, soft bodies and long arms and tentacles. Squid have long bodies that are easy to butcher, leaving behind a thin cylinder-shaped mass of flesh that can easily be stuffed or cut into rings and fillets. While they are often caught and prepared when they are between an inch and a foot long, some squid can grow to lengths of up to 80 feet.Where Does Calamari Come From?
Squid exist in every ocean and sea (with the exception of the Black Sea). A wide variety of squid species are fished, cooked and consumed, including Atlantic or European squid, reef squid, and Japanese flying squid. Half of the total global squid consumption occurs in Japan, where it is called ika and grouped into the same category as cuttlefish (koika).
What Does Calamari Taste Like?
Squid has thin, mild flesh compared with octopus and cuttlefish, which have thicker, more flavorful meat like that of crab or lobster. Unlike fish and shellfish, raw squid meat is smooth and firm. When prepared properly, calamari becomes tender and absorbs the flavors it is cooked with. Otherwise, it can become chewy and bland.
How to Buy Calamari
Fresh calamari is available at most seafood markets and, depending on your location, large grocery stores. Due to their wide distribution, you can typically get domestically caught calamari, though squid imported from Asia is also common. If you can not find fresh calamari, squid also holds up to freezing quite well. Most calamari is sold either pre sliced, or whole and cleaned.
How to Cook Calamari
To cook calamari, slice the squid body into thin rings, then cook over high for just a few minutes. Common cooking methods include grilling, broiling, and deep frying for just a few minutes. For tender calamari, squid should be cooked either for a very short time, or for a long time over low . While the body of the squid yields the best meat, calamari tentacles are also tasty, particularly in fried squid, where they offer additional surface area for the golden brown breading.
