Jammin Calamari
Calamari. How can something so disgusting looking actually taste good? When cooked poorly, it is as leathery as a shoe but, when cooked just right, it's not fishy at all and has a great smoothness to it! On our last night in San Francisco, we went to a restaurant in the Union Square district and had Calamari among other things like short ribs, pescatore & linguine with meatballs(Sheri)! The calamari is what stood out to me and that's quite a strange feeling. I don't really eat seafood too much, I can cook the hell out of it; i just prefer not to indulge in it too much. Oh well, maybe it was the city, maybe it was the company or maybe my taste buds are just changing...
Cheers!
