I had this for supper last night. It was great! My husband, who works in Glouster,Ma, said they were just as good as any he's had there. I did use rice flour instead of regular flour. Next time I will make it easy on myself & buy cleaned squid.




Good

Reviewed many recipes for calamari, chose Emeril's and it was perfect. Seasoning, oil temperature and timing turned out the PERFECT calamari. Thank you Emeril.




Restaurant quality results!!

Wow!! I was introduced to calamari while an exchange student in the Canary Islands in the mid-80's. This recipe is all you'd expect and more!! Flavor is fantastic, texture is perfect and I just can't wait to make it again!! I christened my new deep fryer with this recipe! :)

The coating is very good. The calamari was very tender. Having the recipe for the "Essence" is great. A little goes a long way.




Simply Delicious!!!!!!

This was by far the best calamari I've ever had!!!!! The buttermilk makes it flavorful and tender. For extra crispiness, use half corn starch and flour.
