Title: Calamari Steaks
Post by: Old Hickory on May 30, 2019, 06:27:29 PM
This is a favorite dinner for my Wife and me.

Fresh frozen.  Flour, egg wash, coat with panko crumbs, into a med-hot CI skillet.  OO, butter, 1 tbs lemon juice, 1 tsp minced garlic, cook 90 secs / side ( any more and it gets tough ).

The large mushroom is stuffed with diced green onions and Swiss cheese.  I made a dip of Ranch dressing and Tabasco, wasn't necessary, but it was very good.

That is a fantastic meal.
I eat quite a bit of deep fried calamari, but I've never had a steak.
Will have to try one.

so I had no idea what a calamari steak is.  I knew that calamari refers to squid, so where do you find calamari steaks?
Looks good OH, has shrooms last night with grilled with grated parm.  should have added some onion like yours.

Your local fish market should have them, or order them for you. They are not a problem here on the "Left Coast".

I think I found them at Restaurant Depot if I'm remembering right. (That's up for debate.) Bamabob, the calamari steaks usually come from Cuttlefish. They're the same kind of creature as a squid with tentacles and body, with shorter tentacles in relation to their body size, and a fatter body. There are also Humbolt Squid which are large and very aggressive. The locals fish them in the Sea of Cortez, but they're also up the west coast and occasionally as far north as the WA ST coast. When snorkeling in Maui, I've observed the cuttlefish in "hoover mode" close to the bottom in 20 ft. deep water. Google them, they're interesting, and many different kinds.

Those look really good.  I'll have keep an eye out for 'em next time in RD.
