This crispy fried calamari recipe was first posted on the blog in 2014; I am bringing it back to the forefront with brand new photos and another simple hack\/tip I learned recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attended a birthday party last weekend, and as expected from a great company of friends, I had my fill and some of the delicious food and amazing conversations. The celebrant had an impressive spread, from the classic Filipino pancit to the crowd-favorite leche flan dessert; I didn't stray far from the buffet table all evening.<\/p>\n\n\n

But although there were quite a few dishes I couldn't wait to recreate at home and share on the blog, what caught my full attention was a platter of fried calamari our hostess served as appetizers. You see, instead of preparing the squid into rings, she used small ones and battered and fried them whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, this is not really a world-changing hack, but I thought it was ingenious and time-saving, at the very least. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

Now for the real tricks\/tips on how to make deliciously golden and crunchy yet super tender calamari; here is my original post in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friends, I know I tend to get overly excited about the recipes I post here on Kawaling Pinoy, but when I tell you that these calamares<\/em> are the tenderest, crispiest, yummiest ever, EVER, please believe me. Because O.M.G, they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to a girlfriend's house over the weekend, and in between sips of sex on the beach and talks about sex (just kidding), we polished off roughly three pounds of these crispy squid rings all by ourselves. They were seriously addicting; we kept popping one after the other nonstop and had to battle it out on who would get the dibs on the last squid left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for you and me, I was able to wrangle from her not only the coveted last piece but also the tricks to making the best seafood appetizer!<\/p>\n\n\n
