I got tricked one time when we went to a restaurant in Florida, I ordered seafood fettuccini Alfredo.
I noticed my friend was snickering and didn't know why when I mentioned that there was a bunch of little suction cup things floating around in my entree.
That's when I found out it was calamari, which I never heard of. UGH!!!
How could anyone eat that stuff? GROSS

Never tried it, just the thought puts me off. I have seen it raw and it doesn't look nice at all.

I can handle fried calamari cut into rings (like onion rings), but that's it. Not a fan of fish bait. lol

Mom loved both squid and octopus though. Must be an oriental thing. lol

I have to admit that I found this amusing!
When I stay with friends in Greece I regularly eat kalamaria and have been fishing for them.
The ones seen in the video are much to big for the table and would probably be tough!
Tentacle cut into slices, battered and fried in olive oil are very tasty.
