PanaPesca’s Imported Loligo offers consistent tenderness, mild flavor, and reliable performance across a wide range of menu applications. Well-suited for classic fried calamari, shareable appetizers, seafood platters, and small plates, it also performs effectively grilled, sautéed, or incorporated into pasta and Mediterranean-style dishes. 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.
