Tapas Style Char-Grilled Squid
In an effort to recreate the grilled squid from Café Ba-Ba-Reeba, the Chicago Tapas Restaurant, I adapted this recipe from Epicurious and made it with my San Francisco middle-schoolers, and they LOVED it. They are asking me to get squid from Sea Forager *whenever* it is available.
Crispy Calamari
Fresh calamari! What a treat. Just prep and fry as our CSF member Michael Gross did here. But first you have to clean it!
Calamari and pasta
Super simple and satisfying. I could just say, "make your favorite pasta sauce, add the calamari and simmer for 5 minutes, then serve with pasta and wine," but I know some folks enjoy a good list so here goes....
Sautéed Calamari with Parsley and Garlic
Garlic, butter, and calamari - yeah baby!! Not in the mood for frying? Pour yourself a glass of something cold and heat up a baguette. There is so much more to this beautiful cephalopod than just fried rings. But let's clean it first! See the video HERE. Recipe lovingly borrowed from Chowhound.
Squid braised in red wine with a garlicy aoli and toast
Here is an amazing recipe for your calamari, courtesy of Sea Forager Seafood member Aaron Rocchino, owner of The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley. Super flavorful, satisfying, and simple. The man knows his food! Enjoy!
Braised Stuffed Squid
You got the whole thing, you lucky dog. There is so much more to this beautiful cephalopod than just calamari. But first you have to clean it! See the video HERE.
