Es Garbell’s Fried Calamari, the pleasure of perfectly crisp frying

Bep Al·lès/Sa Caleta -Some dishes may seem simple, but they only truly work when there is good produce, a steady hand and impeccable frying behind them. Es Garbell’s fried calamari is one of those Mediterranean classics that never disappoint when prepared with care and respect.

The portion arrives generous, golden and crisp, with a light batter that coats the squid without hiding its texture or its marine flavour. Each ring keeps just the right tenderness, while the coating brings that crunchy, savoury sensation that invites you to eat with your hands, share and order again. A touch of lemon completes a direct, popular and deeply comforting preparation.

At Es Garbell, a Menorcan and Mediterranean restaurant in Sa Caleta, fried calamari fits perfectly with a philosophy based on home-style cooking, generous portions and timeless flavour. A perfect starter for beginning a meal with the taste of the sea and no unnecessary embellishment.
