Nothing describes Greek summer better than the smell and taste of the deep fried calamari. Chewy with a crispy crust that delivers within seconds the taste of the sea to all your senses. The ultimate meze!

What’s missing is the drink. Here is where many opinions come up. Although beer refreshes you like no other drink (even if it is only for a short while), it is ouzo that gathers most votes as the best companion for the fried calamari.

No matter what your preferance is when it comes to alcohol, you can enjoy calamari as a main dish or a snack. And if you are up to something even more exciting, then try the grilled calamari with olive oil and lemon, or the stuffed calamari (grilled as well), with feta cheese and herbs. Oh, don’t forget the wine!
