Fried calamari with marinara and lemon became the default appetizer at Italian American restaurants in the 1970s and has stayed on the menu ever since.
Squid rings and tentacles are dusted in seasoned flour or a light batter and fried for only a minute or two, since overcooking makes them rubbery. Cajun versions add spicy seasoning; salt and pepper squid, from Cantonese and Australian kitchens, is tossed with chili, garlic and scallions. Grilled squid, charred on the outside and tender within, is the lighter Mediterranean option.
Portion size is what changes the price. At the seafood places on SemFood, 8 orders from $5.99 to $14.49.
