Calamares: A brief overview of extra delicious and crunchy seafood!
At Ambers restaurant, Calamares is a popular appetiser that is in high demand. The golden crispy rings taste very sweet, but not overly so. I was a college student, and I used to go to mostly Mediterranean regions to eat juicy, spicy calamari. I adore the taste and consistency of succulent squid!
Its natural citrus flavour, which is enhanced by the addition of milk, a thin layer of corn flour, and spices that enhance the flavour of calamari, have made this dish renowned across the globe. This snack’s best feature is that it may be served with different dipping sauces and sauces.
Calamari that is golden perfection with a hint of spice always makes me feel more hungry and wants to eat more. Let’s learn more about this delicious seafood!

What makes Calamari so Yummy?
After tasting these golden rings, you will, like me, fall in love with squid due to the distinctive flavour of calamari. I’ve always been curious about what makes these crispy morsels so delicious. After doing some study, I discovered that Amber Restaurant’s delicious taste and crunch are only possible because of the usage of premium, pure ingredients. Let’s see what components give the calamari its amazing flavour and juiciness!
Marination: Calamari are marinated in salted milk for half an hour to improve the flavour and get rid of the fishy smell. These crisp morsels are made incredibly delicious by this marinating method!
Coating: A coating of flour, cornflour, and baking soda gives calamari its crunchy exterior and juicy interior!
Spices and sauce: For a smoky, spicy flavour, the red chilli, black paprika, and salt work perfectly. Enjoying these golden-fried squid with your preferred sauce is the best part!
Customisation: The ideal beverage pairing with an appetiser can add even more flavour and happiness. For the optimum combination of spicy and citrus flavours, I therefore always pick one glass of orange juice with golden fried squid. From the menu, you can select Tetra drink and soda. So just enjoy some delicious appetisers and cold drinks!
