Trust me, I'm five months pregnant and my appetite is virtually bottomless, to say the least of the almost psychoses-inducing cravings I've been dealing with! I'm heroically resisting the urge to grab my husband by the short hairs and drag him to the nearest Italian restaurant for several platters of battered squid! (...and that would be after happily downing a kiddie-pool full of tzatziki for appetizers, tossing in several dozen toasted ravioli, and then it's off to the vat of chicken ramen with cream cheese diced up in it. Then polish it all off with a boatload of mocha ice cream with dark chocolate sauce...and a few bites of watermelon.) --TwoDragons Sorry about the hunger pangs, y'all!

Melbourne has the best restaurant and general food culture in the world. And if it is going to be squid then no place better than the second largest greek city in the world. regardless of the sauce, I can not think of a bertter place to land the squid.

All squid produce it and the cleaning process to rid it from the flesh is hard enough for noemal sized squid. And Adam Shithope, look it up before you call "BS".

Given the depth and pressure these buggers live, they can't keep air bladders to maintain their depth, instead, they're got large quantities of ammonium (think wee) in their bodies. Ammonium, being less dense than the surrounding seawater allows them to be neutrally buoyant. If someone knows a way of getting that out of them, then hell, I'm there with plain ol' lemon juice.

Goddamn it, now I'm hungry. I definitely prefer a sweet marinara sauce, especially if the calamari has a nice crispy batter to hold sauce while dipping. Goddamn it, now I'm hungry.

Oh yeah, the tomato sauce is a perfect choice- with the rest of the fisherman's basket/fish n' chips you could also go a lemon wedge with a good sprinkling of salt! Yum! Also, thanks for the grammar heads up TwoDragons but it is accepted as either tartar or tartare sauce, just depends which side of the world you inhabit, or whether you're referring to the tartaric acid building up on your dental work after consuming calamari rings! Be well! Apologies, this post should have come with a warning- may cause hunger.

A nice and simple herb-spiced tomato sauce, somewhere around the range of the beginning of a marinara sauce. That's the only acceptable calamari sauce. Thanks for the cravings.
