Hi Barbara, Add a little more olive oil and a a little salt but let it marinate for as long as possible, that should do the trick. Calamari is more about the texture and flavours added. Merry Christmas G

Hi Graham
I love Calamari and often purchase marinated calamari from my favourite sea food restaurant. So, when I saw this recipe I just had to try it as we are having a cold Xmas lunch this year and it would be an excellent offering.

I purchased a kilo frozen calamari rings from a reputable sea food outlet and simmered it as stated. The aroma filled my house..jummy! But, oh no the calamari is tender and white but absolutely tasteless!

I feel, the lemon juice could be less as it’s overpowering (I used freshly squeezed and they were slightly on the green side).

Is there, at this stage, any way of saving this dish. Meaning the tasteless calamari? If not, it’s file 13 I’m afraid.

Regards
Barbara
