Love squid!!! Maybe its a southern thing, but is served alot in Florida. Calamari.. greek grub..
Calamari; Italian... Delicious though!
Lol.. I’m from the desert area in West Texas.. not too much seafood there ;)
At one of our local restaurants, their fried calamari appetizer -- plus a salad -- made a great meal.
Another (tiny) local place often had calamari with linguini and Italian peppers on their "chalkboard specials" menu. On those evenings, I never bothered to look any other menu item...

OTOH, the "grilled squid on a stick" often sold on the temple grounds during local Japanese festivals were definitely on the "Try once -- then avoid forever..." list... '-)
