Tried Rhode Island Calamair tonight...

I tried Rhode Island Calamari tonight. Quite different than the Calamari you might be used to at Carrabbas and similar places. The Calamari get floured and deep fried, as you might suspect, but then, they get tossed in a mixture of sauteed garlic and cherry peppers (and their juice).

The result is something resembling the standard calamari, but quite different, and definately delicious!!

Anybody else ever have Rhode Island Calamari? (what did you think?)

I thought this was going to be akin to some regional oyster... sounds great though.

I have had calamari served that way and it's very good, I just didn't realize that it was Rhode Island style. The Rhodies do seafood well! RI style clam chowder (broth based as opposed to New England cream based) is downright tasty, too.

I've heard that seafood from cold water is better than warm water seafood. I had some scallops at a little town on the Bay Of Fundy in New Bruswick once that were the best I ever had. I grew up on the coast of NC and have eaten scallops all my life. The cold water ones were the best.

I love fried calamari.

I would have to say that it's true. There is a difference between ME/NS lobster and those caught in NY, CT, RI and the waters off SE MA. Oysters, clams and real scallops, too. I don't know what it is, but they're just a bit sweeter.

OTOH, the best soft shell crab I've had was in MD.
