PanaPesca’s Imported Illex and Arrow Calamari offer reliable tenderness, clean flavor, and consistent performance for a wide range of menu applications. Fully cleaned for ease of use, these calamari are ideal for classic fried calamari, shareable appetizers, seafood platters, salads, and small plates, as well as for grilling, sautéing, or incorporating into pasta and Mediterranean-style dishes. Offered in convenient portion packs, this format supports labor efficiency, portion control, and cost management while maintaining consistent quality during high-volume service. For best results, marinate calamari in buttermilk or evaporated milk for several hours before cooking to enhance tenderness. When freshly breaded, fry quickly at 350°F for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute until lightly golden. Avoid overcooking to preserve a tender bite and clean, balanced flavor.
