Answers: Hello there!!
Calamari is squid. It is usually fried, but you can make it many ways.
It is a staple in many Turkish, Greek, Italian, and seafood restaurants, as well as a snack at some bars. It is often served as an appetizer, garnished with parsley, or occasionally sprinkled lightly with parmesan cheese. It is usually served with a dip of some sort, most often peppercorn mayonnaise, tzatziki, or in the United States, Marinara sauce, Like many seafood dishes, it is served with a slice of lemon, to squirt the juice over the dish if desired.
