Toss crispy fried squid with a mixture of garlic butter and slices of hot cherry peppers. This is how calamari is served in Rhode Island. Point Judith, RI has the largest squid-fishing fleet on the East Coast and is the hub of the squid business in the United States. Fresh, Atlantic trawl-caught is the best choice, since a lot of squid is imported from China and may be rubbery and tasteless. If you are lucky enough to run across fresh domestic squid while vacationing at the beach or at your local fish market, this recipe is terrific shared as an appetizer with friends.
