I made calamari recently in my deep fryer. I used frozen rings, purchased at a local asian grocery known for decent seafood.
Since the rings were so O-shaped and I was using a relatively boring batter, I expected the shape to be what it was- boring fried Os.
However, the flavor was way off. It started out "passable" and then progressed to a little fishy as it sat out on the serving platter. After a few minutes more, it became VERY fishy tasting and just got worse as time went on (even in a short time). What happened?
Are the frozen rings OK to use? Is there a better way to batter them nicely?
