Calamari is what we call bits of squid when we eat them. Calamari is typically rings of mantle, sometimes arms, but never tentacles in the true sense. Much of the calamari we eat comes from one type of inshore squid. But if you've ever eaten seafood mixes - spaghetti marinara or seafood pizza - the chances are that you were eating something pretty new to science. Tinned seafood mix often contains so-called 'baby octopus'. They are also sold marinated, barbecued or in Thai salads. In fact, most of these 'babies' are fully-grown miniature octopus of species still being described, imported from Asia. About 15 000 tonnes are sent around the world every year from trawl fisheries in Thailand. Can we keep taking them out of the sea forever? We simply do not know.

ca·la·ma·ri (kä'lÉ-mä'rÄ, kÄl'É-)
n.
Squid prepared as food.
[Italian, pl. of calamaro, from Late Latin calamÄrium, pen-case, from Latin calamÄrius, relating to a reed pen, from calamus, reed pen (perhaps from the “ink” the squid secretes). See calamus.]
Calamari is the same a squid - Squid is a type of sea animal - there should be lots of info on the web for squid - Once a squid is caught, cleaned and cooked, it is then called calamari. Guess squid does not sound very enticing....
good luck

Fried squid. Some people like it with a marinara sauce. I love it with lemon squeezed over it.
