 I think the word "calamari" is just a nicer and less frightening way of calling squid. I remember the first time I heard that term was when I was about 19. A few years ago when I told my friend about dried squid, she freaked out, but then she was willing to eat "fried calamari" in the restaurant. People asked me if I wanted some and "fried calamari" and I asked "What's calamari?" It wasn't until I saw what it was.. and said.. "OHH Squid!" People looked at me with a dead blank stare and a spark of repulsiveness.. like gross, how can you call it that? Anyways, dried Squid (aka dried calamari strips??) has always been one of my favorite snack treats. Sorry it's kind of hard to see from the picture because it's in a bag, (but for those with a weak stomach, I guess that's a good thing). Basically, dried squid does not taste like the calamari or cooked squid you get in the restaurants, like dried mangos don't taste like fresh mangos. They do taste like seafood, a stronger taste, sweet, salty, and sometimes spicy. Think of it like snow crab legs in dry format and very chewy. If you like those dried fish strips, sardines, or cuttle fish, I think you'll like dried squid. Also, the whiter looking one, tastes slightly different than the darker yellow one. The whiter kind is more soft and fluffy, sweeter, and the darker one is harder, and stronger tasting. I used to like the whiter one only but now the darker one is tasty to me too. It also depends on the brand. You can get it in the Asian store, in the snack or dried food aisle for about $2 a bag. The bigger the bag, the better bang for the buck. Like It? Share it!
