Just got back from Vic Market.
Wes,
Your right, there was only 1 stall selling "real Calamari" but the also had, get this, "calamari squid". To me the looked like baby aero squid. Does that mean they have cross bread calamari with squid? :blink: :blink: (scuse the sarcasm)
So, in summary there is a shortage of real calamari, hence the price hike...
Price:
Squid: $2.50
calamari squid $12.50
real Calamari $22.50
Iterstate/international prices welcome..
FYI: I believe they way to differentiate between squid and calamari is the wings size.
Squid have a thin long mantle with the wings ending begining at top, ending one third of mantle length down,
Calamari have a fatter mantle, with the wings expanding top to bottom of mantle.
RGRDS,
Joe.
