Fresh Squid (Calamari) – Tender, Mild & Perfect for Frying
Squid, commonly known as Calamari, is a premium seafood loved for its soft, elastic texture and mild, clean flavor. It is especially popular for quick-cooking recipes, where the goal is a light bite with a crisp outer layer and tender inside.
When cooked correctly, calamari is juicy and delicate, making it ideal for frying, stir-frying, and light gravies. Its neutral taste absorbs seasoning easily, allowing both desi spices and continental flavors to shine. Because it cooks very fast, squid is a favorite for restaurant-style dishes and special home meals.
