FRIED CALAMARI WITH TWO DIPPING SAUCES
Living in New England we are spoiled to have some great fried seafood stands but they can be pricey so I thought about trying it on my own. This recipe is fantastic! And the dipping sauces really take it up a notch! Hope you love it as much as we do. Thanks Monica
