About Mollusks, squid, mixed species, cooked, fried

Squid — calamari on the menu — is a lean, mild shellfish with a firm, springy bite, best known battered into golden rings but just as good grilled, stewed or quickly stir-fried. Cooked fast or slow it's tender; caught in between, it turns rubbery.

The squid itself is very lean and high in protein, with good amounts of selenium, vitamin B12, copper and phosphorus, and it's naturally low in calories. This entry is the fried version, though, and that's the catch: the batter and oil add a great deal of fat and calories the squid alone doesn't have.

Grilled or sautéed, calamari is a light, high-protein seafood; deep-fried, it becomes an indulgence — the cooking method matters more here than almost anywhere.
