Step Seven: Slicing, and Portioning for the Fryer.

Slice the Squid to make Calamari rings. They can be as thick or as thin as you like. I like my Calamari thick so that is what is shown in the picture. Once the rings are sliced, turn the rings inside out so they are more springy when battered and fried.

The Fin can be sliced into strips. They’re thin so they won’t have a strong Calamari flavor, but that’s ok. The batter will be well seasoned so the fins will be just as enjoyable.

The Tentacles have been portioned out in an earlier step, so in the photo shown, we have everything ready to be dipped into the batter.

I hope this Tutorial was helpful and educational! Take care and Happy Eating!
