What is kalamari?

Kalamari refers to squid that is often served as a dish in Mediterranean cuisine. Squid is typically prepared by cleaning and slicing the body into rings or tubes, and then cooking it by either grilling, frying, or sautéing. Kalamari can be eaten as a main course dish, served with various sides such as rice, salad or vegetables, or as an appetizer, typically accompanied by lemon wedges, garlic sauce or marinara sauce.
