About Battered squid rings
Battered and fried squid rings with lemon on the side. A classic sharing plate in Spanish bars and terraces.
What to expect
Calamares a la romana are squid rings coated in batter and fried. A light coating and well-drained frying let the squid remain the focus. This preparation differs from flour-dusted Andalusian-style squid and from the strips often called rabas.
Ordering tips
Check the portion size before ordering several fried tapas. Lemon is usually served on the side so you can add it to taste. If you want a squid sandwich, ask whether it is available: a fried squid plate on the menu does not automatically mean the bar makes sandwiches.
