    I just made this last night for company and it was amazing! My husband didn't care for the marinara - he said that it was too sweet. The aioli was delicious, and everyone raved about it. The calamari came out crispy, and not rubbery at all. Easy recipe that I will use time and time again.

    Awesome! These were easy. I cheated and used the frozen rings, my family loved them. The only tweaks to the recipe was I used parsley in the milk/egg mixture and added garlic powder to the flour. Will make this again.

    W-O-W! Best calamari recipe. SO easy. Just picked up frozen calamari at my local seafood place ($4.00 a pound and whipped up this little number. It is a crowd pleaser and people seem to believe that I'm a skilled chef now.

    Tyler makes everything look great This recipe was no exception I did use 1 teaspoon lemon pepper & also 1 teaspoon Szechuan pepper instead of regular pepper & I also scored the squid prior to cutting into 2" X 3/4" strips done easily using scissors By tweaking Tyler's recipe I ended up with Salt and Pepper Squid Extremely delicious

    My intent last night (Valentine's Day was to have calamari as an appetizer with drinks and then the main course was to be grilled stuffed veal chops. Well .... these calamari were so fantastic (and I did have a full pound and there were only two of us, so we decided to make a meal out of the calamari! Could not stop eating it. I quickly mixed up a little cole slaw and that was it. The key has to be soaking in the milk mixture first. They came out so crispy and delectable. I used an aioli recipe I already had that is just perfect with these for anyone interested: 1 C of mayo; 1/4 C sour cream; 2 T fresh lemon juice; 1 T fresh parsley; 2 cloves of garlic minced through a press; 2 heaping tsp capers; pinch of salt. Refrigerate for an hour ahead if possible. This is the best method for frying calamari that I have tried. Also, I found 2 minutes at 375 was just about right yielding tender and crispy calamari. OH SO GOOD!

    The calamari was great. The only thing I put too much salt in the flower. But really good. I recommend to anybody who wants to do it.
    The best part was the marinera dip sauce. IT had a special taste that you find in restaurants. It was perfect.
    Have fun and enjoy making it.
