    For everyone saying that they thought it was a bit bland, try tossing in some thin slices of fresh basil. Being from Long Island, this is how I remember eating calamari growing up around my Italian extended family.

    This receipe is foolproof! It's easy, fast, and delicious. You don't need to get any special ingredients to make this, you can pretty much find all the ingredients in your pantry!

    I just tried this recipe. The good thing about it is that it was easy to make the batter and quick also.
    It was lite which was a good thing.
    However, I would prefer to have a crispier crust then this one.
    If you want to have a quick way to make calamari then go ahead. But if you want a crispier, heavier crust then you should probably try another recipe.

    All we could taste was the oil. No one liked it. :(

    This was the first time I tried making fried calamari @ home. The taste and texture were perfect. The only thing I would do differently next time would be make it light brown. Mine were still a little on the blonde side. Maybe add some paprika? I did not have any dried parsley so I added basil and thyme with a dash of garlic powder and Old Bay seasoning. Outrageously good! Can't wait to make it again.

    I made this dish for an Italian themed potluck at work, everyone really loved it and said it was better than most of the fried calamari they had eaten in restaurants. It is extremely easy to prepare and only take a few minutes to make. I added more seasoning to the breading- about a 1/4 cup more of parsley and some premixed dried Italian seasoning. It was really tasty.
