Chili Octopus
Fried squid is called "calamari", an Italian word and one of our favorite appetizers at restaurants and bars. It's generally lightly battered and deep fried, and served with a sprinkle of salt and lemon wedges. This time I used its cousin the octopus, and served it with home made chili dipping sauce :-)
