Kalamaraki Skaras
Grilled Calamari
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Fresh calamari, either whole small squid or tender rings, lightly marinated and then grilled to perfection with olive oil, lemon, and herbs. A popular seafood appetizer or main.
Key ingredients
Calamari, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, fresh parsley, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure it is specifically 'skaras' (grilled) and not 'tiganito' (fried) as fried calamari is typically breaded. Request no fries or starchy side dishes.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Καλαμαράκι Σχάρας, παρακαλώ. Είναι σίγουρα σχάρας, όχι τηγανητό; Και χωρίς πατάτες τηγανητές ή άλλα αμυλούχα συνοδευτικά.
Kalamaraki Skaras, please. Confirm it's grilled, not fried, and no fries or starchy sides.
Watch out for
None inherent to the dish. Minimal carbs from lemon. The primary risk is breading if 'tiganito' (fried) is mistakenly ordered, or starchy side dishes.
