my roommate and I loved the calamari at J Timothy's (in addition to the wings of course) and we were saddened to know they took it off the menu.
Please share your calamari recs!

Went to lunch with friends on Friday. Riptide on the west haven/milford line has great calamari! I was very pleasantly surprised!

Wood n’ Tap (Southington) is decent. Haven’t been to Zingarella’s in years but it was pretty good there too. Joey Garlic’s is also not bad if you’re in the area.

Mykonos on the Berlin Turnpike. Crispy but also melts in your mouth.

Sakura Garden, Glastonbury. Not rubbery at all, which I can’t stand.

Rosy Tomorrow’s in Danbury have Buffalo chicken calamari. It comes topped with tomato, celery, hot sauce, and blue cheese crumble.

Any decent Thai or Italian place can make it.

I'm always reminded of this story when I hear people express their love for calamari - https://www.thisamericanlife.org/484/doppelgangers

Honestly you don't want calamari that's not fresh. Perhaps they couldn't source enough good quality stuff and that's why it's gone. I'd rather see it off the menu than get something that's been caught who-knows-where, frozen, shipped, sat around, etc.

It’s all pig anus anyways.

Well that's disturbing...

Somewhat. I mean, if it has the same texture and taste, then who cares?
TreaclePerfect4328 t1_j2kqu5u wrote
I definitely do...

Weird admission but I’ll allow it.

What about the tentacle parts?

Pig pubes?
Vader_Means_Daddy t1_j2mi9z9 wrote
The tentacle parts are still squid. Pig anus can be substituted for the rings legally without an issue.

Sounds like facts to me!

Just in case anyone is worried, this is an urban legend. And also obviously illegal to sell pig anus as calamari despite the claim below.

This is not an urban legend - it is 100% factual just like everything on the internet.
