    I hadn't seen the episode in trying this recipe. I think the key is to drain the calamari well before going into the dredge, as most of the coating came off quickly in the oil and clumped into its own fritters. It also didn't get golden brown or crispy (yes, the oil was hot enough...was on medium-high on a Thermador gas range, and I knew the calamari was getting overcooked, but didn't want it swimming in underdone batter. Flavor is fine...will have to try again some time.

    Saw Paula prepare this, and like, her I am not the worlds biggest fan of banana peppers. But made this once and now it is my go-to recipe for calamari. Easy & Delicious!!

    We found fresh calamari @our Kroger and looked for a recipe. Found this one and we are hooked! I cut in strips and batter with Red's Yellow, then fry in a combo of olive oil and canola oil. The trick is not to over-fry. I also squeeze lemon juice on it while frying and after I take it out. Just get it golden and remove. Saute your tomatoes, banana peppers and green onions for a few minutes and put the calamari back in. Ask your fish department in your grocery to get this in. They can get frozen "steaks". Nom,nom,nom!!!!!!

    I found the calamari difficult to cook. In the end it was delicious though. I have no idea how I pulled this one off!

    I am getting ready to try this recipe. But to answer your question msjuicy82 you can get fresh calamari from the warf in dc located right next to Phillips Seafood Restaurant. The place is called Captain White's. You may have already found it by now, but of not I thought that I'd help out. Good Luck.

    Ok just watched this episode on tv and i could taste the calamari in my mouth. Can anybody please tell me where do i find calamari or fresh squid. I just moved to northern VA and have no clue as to where i could find this without actually going out and catching my own.

    I can't believe how good - and how easy - this recipe is. My husband and I have had it three times in one week. That says a lot.

    I love the recipe David, the food came out great and any half experienced cook could very well figure out how to cook this properly. Don't act like your an experienced cook if you can't understand simple directions
