Skopelos recipes offer a wide selection of fish dishes, such as fried calamari. The Mediterranean cuisine is well known for creating exquisite dishes made with fish. Skopelos specifically, as any other Greek island, offers great fishing experiences presenting the best fresh fish the sea provides.

Our fried calamari is one of the best Skopelos recipes and a must for those that have not tasted this dish yet. Take a look on how we cook it, here:

• First of all we clean the calamari and cut it into thick rings.
• Then we mix milk and lemon and soak in buttermilk with a bit of garlic. We let in rest for a couple of hours.
• In another bowl we mix flour, salt, pepper.
• In a third bowl we beat eggs.
• Then, we remove the calamari rings from the buttermilk and dip it into beaten egg, and after that with the flour mix.
• In a deep fryer set at over 320C 360 C we add filled with 2 cups of oil (500 ml) and fry the calamari rings until their colour turns brown (3-5 minutes).
• While waiting for the calamari rings to get fried, we create a unique sauce mixing in a bowl preserved white fish roe, onions, eggs, lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil.
• Finally, we place the sauce on the plate and then put the rings on top, before sprinkling with salt and pepper.
