squid and calamari

Squid and calamari can be seen to be so familiar with each other. Little did people know, there are indeed differences that can be seen. The appearances, color, and texture could be different from each other. So many things to notice.

As stated in Good Food, squid could be said as the cheaper and tougher one. But, calamari has more tender feels and is expensive. That is some major difference that could be told between the two. Interestingly, both of them do not have external shells. Simply said, it’s the only easiest similarity that can be extinguished between squid and calamari.

Differences Between Squid And Calamari

1) Squid

Squid has fins that form the shape of an arrow. Other than that, it has small flaps that are pointed on the narrow end of the bodies. It is also highly known to be having softer flesh and taste. The size would be larger than the calamari. When you want to cook it, it is suggested that squid taste better when it is used for stewing or even stuffing.

2) Calamari

Calamari’s fins are indeed long and go all the way down the hood. On either side of the body, it can be seen that calamari has triangular wing-like flaps that are long. The size of the calamari is smaller. So, when you see both of them side to side, notice the size first. It would help a lot to differentiate them. If you want to eat calamari, they are best served as stir-frying, grilling, or even frying dishes.
