These fried calamari are made using the Roman culinary style of coating the squid in a light batter and frying it. Squid are a great source of lean protein and are rich in several vitamins and minerals. Highly perishable, squid should be stored for no more than 1 day in the refrigerator before cooking. Calamari is best cooked quickly at a high temperature so the fish remains tender.
