  1. A friend enjoyed a calamari salad in a restaurant and when returned a second time and ordered the same it came out completely different.
    She is looking for a lightly breaded squid recipe with ?lemon, some cheese and perhaps some other flavors……would you ever have a recipe that you could share for this wonderful dish?
