Frozen Crispy Breaded Calamari

🦑 The joy of crispy calamari, without all the prep work

Craving crispy breaded calamari? No need to start from scratch.

Already prepared and frozen, these calamari go straight from the freezer to the fryer. Their breading becomes deliciously golden and crispy, while the calamari remains tender on the inside.

In the deep fryer, 1.5 to 2 minutes is all it takes. This is the kind of convenient product you love having in the freezer to quickly turn an appetizer, a starter, or a dinner into a little gourmet moment.

🍳 Cooking — Do not thaw

🌶️ Chef's tip — Try them spicy

Want to give them even more personality?

Sauté pickled peppers and, to taste, a few pieces of fresh jalapeño in a cast-iron skillet for about 2 minutes.

Deglaze with a little juice from the peppers, then add the already cooked calamari. Sauté quickly with the peppers and serve with sour cream.

The contrast between the crunch, the heat, and the sour cream works particularly well.
