@@BullShitThat Yes, just lightly-salted water. Blanching the calamari makes it toothsome and prevents that rubbery-chewy texture if you over-fry. It also lets you use a more delicate batter if you want, like tempura, because you don't need to fry as long.

As a Little Rhody native, it’s great to see RI getting the spotlight! Also they probably went with the word calamari because RI has a very large Italian population.

The best calamari I have ever had in my 45-year cooking history was the dish my Greek boss, Sotirios (Sam) Leventis did back when I worked for him in the late seventies. Simple, tender and delicious. We would buy whole, baby squid, real calamari, clean it, portion it and dust it in seasoned flour, rice flour if you are gluten intolerant. Sear and toss in hot olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and cracked pepper. Turn out onto a serving dish and squeeze fresh lemon and a drizzle of olive oil all over. Never tasted any calamari as good since.

Two friends of mine, brothers, had weird senses of humor that had our group in stitches most of the time. One day they played a prank outside their neighborhood McDonalds. They had a sleeve holder for fries which they had emptied. In it, they placed fried calamari pieces, arranged so that the fried tentacles draped over the sides. The younger brother would offer passing customers a taste of “a new menu item, McSquidlies,” and wait for the reactions.

@@festerofest4374- Depending on what you've fried (not fish), you can strain it using a strainer lined with cheesecloth and put it in a container and store it for reuse probably once more, maybe twice. Back in the day, people used to pour used grease in a can and store on the back of the stove for reuse. Today, just the thought of that practice makes most people turn green. 🤢 To dispose of oil, let it cool, pour it into a container that closes well that you were going to discard anyway, and throw out in trash. Please, please whatever you do don't pour it down the sink drain or flush it.

If you must bread squid, use a light tempura style coating. But squid is better uncoated and quick fried with garlic and black pepper, or with chili and fermented black beans, or some other way traditional to Mediterranean or Southeast Asian countries where eating squid is a long-standing culinary tradition. There is no reason to bread and deep fry all seafood.
