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.
