Hello there!!
Calamari is squid. It is usually fried, but you can make it many ways.
It is a staple in many Turkish, Greek, Italian, and seafood restaurants, as well as a snack at some bars. It is often served as an appetizer, garnished with parsley, or occasionally sprinkled lightly with parmesan cheese. It is usually served with a dip of some sort, most often peppercorn mayonnaise, tzatziki, or in the United States, Marinara sauce, Like many seafood dishes, it is served with a slice of lemon, to squirt the juice over the dish if desired.

Calamari is a culinary treat made of squid that is native to Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisines that is made of squid. The most popular calamari dish in North America is fried calamari. The dish is relatively simple, with the squid cut into pieces, creating rings of seafood. The rings are then battered and deep-fried for just a couple of minutes. Fried calamari is often served as a snack or appetizer and is sometimes added to appetizer platters. Calamari is generally garnished with parsley and lemon, and Italian restaurants often sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. In the United States, this dish is often served with marinara sauce. Turkish and Greek culinary traditions pair this dish with a cream sauce such as tzaziki.
Although calamari is a traditional European squid dish, squid is used in similar manners in many other countries. Chinese cuisine has a similar dish to fried calamari. In Chinese cooking, squid is diced and battered much like fried calamari. It is then served with spicy chili and salt. Similar dishes are also made in Korea.
