Why would you even bake calamari? Frying is the only way! Just saying…
I totally get what you’re saying! Frying gives it that crispy texture. But baked calamari can be delicious too, just in a different way!
Nah, baking is better! Less oil, healthier. Frying is so greasy!
I don’t know, it seems too complicated? Stuffing squid? My grandma just fried it. Not sure if I’ll try.
Yummy! I added some chili flakes for a kick. So good!!
I had no idea you could stuff squid! Will give it a go, but I might skip the olives, not a fan.
This is the best calamari recipe I’ve ever tried! The flavors are amazing. Definitely a keeper!
