Wow Matt! That looks incredible! I always wanted to try making calamari at home, so thanks for this recipe and the quick and easy homemade marinera sauce!
I just made this recipe today. It worked out really well. My family really enjoyed it. Might make it again when I get the chance. Thanks again for the recipe!!!
Mr. Make it happen, I never thought to make calamari at home, but I am now bcus the restaurants don’t make them crispy enough for me even when I ask them to, thank for sharing Matt & that crunch is everything.
Look I love that you stick beside the chicken bouillon because it's a necessary staple in my kitchen too. I'm West African and it's a nice alternative to Maggi cubes. I definitely will be trying this recipe. Thank you!
Oh man! I love calamari but have never made it for myself. Your demonstration and recipe looks straightforward and my mouth is already watering. Definitely going to shop for some squid tomorrow and give your recipe a try. Thanks for the great demo.
Those look amazing. Squid & Octopus are so neglected as a home dish. The first time I had Calamari was in Spain, and I guess they just have BadAss squid there, were the size of big onion rings. Been a Superfan ever since. Love the buttermilk use. We usually soak/rinse in water & vinegar for a few minutes, drain & pat dry, flour, then egg wash, then finish in crunched Cheezits and fry.
Great recipe. Just like my grandma used to make. She also stuffed the tubes. Chop up the tentacles and add toasted bread cubes, oregano basil and parsley onion garlic and finely chopped bell pepper. Add an egg to bind the stuffing. Sauté until tentacles are cooked and stuffing is firm, well cooked before stuffing into tubes. After adding to tube, fasten ends with toothpicks. Dredge like you did. She pan fried together crispy outside and tender stuffing. Same sauce you made was topped at serving. Remove toothpicks before serving. Very yummy. Thanks for the authenticity. Italians are passionate about our traditional foods. It’s art to us.
Looks very tasty 😋! I happen to like calamari, but I've never made it homemade. I wouldn't even know where to buy packaged calamari like you used in this video. I'll have to so some hunting. Thanks 👍🏾!!
hi mr. buttermilk is hard to find in our country but what we can find almost anywhere is BUTTERMILK POWDER. can i just use that powder and mix it with water? do you think it is possible to achieve the same result as the buttermilk?
We love your recipes! Thank you for sharing them. I just don’t know what I did wrong with the calamari this time, all the flour and condiments stayed in the frying pan. Could you give me some advice, please? Greeting Lesly
I do like Calamari, but I lived in Greece and there was never a tomato sauce servred with the dish. It was a garlic yogurt and herbs sauce which came with the dish...
Fried calamari is one of the best appetizers of all time.
You are 110% correct!
This recipe really works, I tried it.
Hello, Chef. Thank you for sharing and all that you do. This helps us with our other recipes. God Bless you.
thanks for your support!

Have you tried Jumbo cubes?
@@shmoneyy yes its just a larger Maggi cube. Maggi is the brand and the jumb is just a different size. I prefer Knorr bouillon powder.
@@michaellakosia6876 oh okay! Just figured I’d mention it since it seemed similar! I’m actually new to using jumbo but I love it!

Which seasoning did you add to the butter milk? And what type of cooking oil do you fry the calamari in?
Thanks.
Great style of cooking calamari
Looks very tasty 😋! I happen to like calamari, but I've never made it homemade. I wouldn't even know where to buy packaged calamari like you used in this video. I'll have to so some hunting. Thanks 👍🏾!!
They have the calamari in the frozen seafood area in most grocery stores.
@@michaellakosia6876 I've seen already prepared frozen calamari, but I'll take a look for uncooked. Thanks👍🏾!
Try a Chinese store around you
These look just olive gardens which are my favorite calamari!!!❤❤❤❤
LOVE Calamari!! Especially from Buca Di Beppo. This looks just as good as theirs
Great Instructions for cooking Calamari. What is the best raw calamari to buy and where can I buy it?
Thanks.
The last time I had Calamari, it was like trying to break down breaded rubber bands. This looks great!!
Give this one a try
😂😂
hi mr. buttermilk is hard to find in our country but what we can find almost anywhere is BUTTERMILK POWDER. can i just use that powder and mix it with water? do you think it is possible to achieve the same result as the buttermilk?
You can make ur own buttermilk by adding vinegar to regular milk. Google how much vinegar to the amount of milk.
@@HarrietMiller-y8b thank you!
I love calamari.
Hey! This looks really good! Thanks for sharing.
Matt got me looking for squid in SE Ohio! That crunch at the end just did it for me.

I hate octopus, BUT MY WIFE LOVES IT. I guess I’ll be tryin this one because she loves when I make either yours or AB’s dishes👍🏾
I’ve never tried calamari because it’s squid but just because you made it I’ll try it now. ☺️

May I ask please whatsort of frying oil do you use? Not the brand just the type of oil. Is it vegetable, canola or something else. Thank you chef...
GREAT TIPS
Incredible this looks sooo delicious and I wanted to contact you to put a calamari recipe 😋 😀 thanks so much!!!
Any other substitute for butter milk?
I am cooking that this evening
Man that look good 🤤
How do you be reading our minds…keep the recipes coming
I know you’re in VA , but which store did you get the calamari from? I can’t wait to make these! It’s my favorite appetizer! Thank you for this!
harris teeter.. most frozen section in seafood departments carry them
You can get it in any seafood department. I'm in PA/NJ and they have it at ShopRite
I have never ate this but looks good Nephew can you make a French dip and fries one of my favorite meals 💖💖💖💖
So good!
Great video! Can you do the Longhorn Chicken dish?
Is it 2 cups of flour or 1 1/2 cups like it’s written?
Yoooo that looks amazing. I love how you tasted it and walked off the set haha.
I did like!❤️❤️👍👍😀👏
Where can I buy your Seasoning??
I do like Calamari, but I lived in Greece and there was never a tomato sauce servred with the dish. It was a garlic yogurt and herbs sauce which came with the dish...
LOOKIN GOOD!!

Love me some fried calamari 🤗🔥🔥🔥
so good!
craving calamari at 12am ugh
Do fried counch next
Wondering if I could put these in the air fryer 🤔
I make mine in the air fryer and they always come out great.
Yummy
Yum
Help!! I made this the other day. The first few came out perfect. The next batch the breading came off. What did I do wrong
Sounds like your oil temp dropped/was too low
Blanch sliced tubes just for few seconds and they will go into firm circular shape, so much easier to deal with them later.
Calamari with cocktails sauce
Gorgeous plate! That puts most restaurant appetizers to shame.
Food looks good send me a plate
lol will do
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Am I the only one who immediately googled where to buy than calamari? I'm making this asap. Love fried calamari.
it's in the frozen section of the seafood department at most grocery stores
350 degrees WHAT? F or C?
This should be a crime. That calamari looks really good. Did you get the calamari from Harris Teeter?
