Fried calamari: breaded, deep-fried squid.

Fried Calamari is a popular seafood dish served in many restaurants. It is a relatively simple dish, which consists of batter coated, deep fried calamari, usually only fried for a brief moment, often under two minutes to prevent the calamari from becoming too tough. 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 tzatziki or Marinara sauce, although other dips, such as ketchup, aioli, or olive oil, are sometimes served as well. Like many seafood dishes, it is served with a slice of lemon, to squirt the juice over the dish if desired.
