About Calamares fritos
Calamares Fritos, or fried calamari, is a popular dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Spain and Italy. This appetizer or light entrée features fresh squid sliced into rings, coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb mixture, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The preparation often includes salt, pepper, and optional spices like paprika or garlic powder. Typically served with lemon wedges and dipping sauces such as aioli or marinara, calamares fritos are celebrated for their flavorful crunch. Squid is a low-fat source of protein and contains essential nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus, which contribute to healthy metabolism and immune function. However, deep-frying significantly increases calorie and fat content, and consuming large portions or pairing it with heavy sauces may make it less heart-healthy. For a lighter version, consider baking or air-frying to preserve the dish’s signature taste with reduced oil.
