Barbara - re: calamari

Misc.
This is from The Food Lover's Companion by Sharon Tyler
Herbst. Calamari is squid, related to both octopus &
cuttlefish. Squid meat has a firm, chewy texture & mild, somewhat sweet flavor. Squid can range in size from 1
inch to the seldom seem (and probably even less seldome
eaten LOL) 80 ft. behemoth of the deep. Smaller squid
are marketed in fresh, frozen, canned, sun-dried, and
pickled forms. They are very popular in Asian and
Mediterranian cuisines and can be found in ethnic
markets & some supermarkets. When buying fresh squid
choose those that are small and whole with clean eyes and an ocean fresh fragrance. They should be refrigerated, airtight, for no more than a day or two.
Squid can be pan-fried, baked, boiled, stir-fried or
coated with batter & deep fried. The cooking time should always be short, since the texture of the squid becomes
rubbery when overcooked. Squid is used raw in sushi dishes by the Japanese. Squid are rich in protein &
phosphorus. Hope this answers your question.
