calamari
For those in the dark, Calamari is squid. Squid tastes great. So great in fact,
this web page was created! Ever wondered if a restaurant has good calamari?
Welp, here is where we start to keep track! When rating Calamari, there are a
few things we look at:
Breading: A light crispy and tasty breading is the ideal. One plus means
it was lame breading they use on any seafood. Five pluses means
they whipped up something special.
Consistancy: Chewing on rubber bands is bad. Bad Calamari and rubber bands
have a lot in common. One plus means I couldn't tell the difference.
Five pluses means it melted in my mouth.
Sauce: Garden variety marinara sauce is dull. Unique sauces are good. One plus
means garden variety off the shelf marinara sauce. Two pluses is often
good marinara. Five is a house made special sauce. (+ = no sauce,
++ = regular marinara)
Serving Size: Bigger is better and stuff. One plus means my cat wouldn't be
happy with that portion. Five means I could choke a cow. If you
see the magic +++++. then it was all you can eat ;)
Sty: What style was it served in?
F = Fritti
S = Steak
T = Tempura
B = Boiled (no breading)
Vis: How many visits were made to the restaurant? If only 1, that may not necessarily
reflect their normal style or quality.
