“I’m sticking with with fried calamari sandwiches— they are lower on the food chain.”
A rubber band sandwich.
Breaded and fried, boiled or sauteed, calamari is tender and tasty when done right. However because of its delicate nature, cooking it just a little longer than recommended could leave you with rubbery, chewy calamari. Pre-soaking it in milk before cooking is one way to get this delicate squid nice and tender. Cooking it quickly over high heat or slowly over a very low heat are the best cooking methods to guarantee you succulent calamari.
