## Tips

- For this recipe with squid, Karlos cleans and cuts this seafood by himself, but you can also tell your fishmonger to do it for you.
- Although the Roman-style squid are a fantastic starter without any sauce or dressing, we recommend trying it with lemon or aioli. The combination is unsurpassable!
- This seafood recipe is a success if you want to prepare an appetizer or a tapas dinner. Also, by not having any meat, it becomes a fantastic option even in Holy Week.
