Giant squids are often referred to as calamaries. Fried Calamari [カラマリ]，油炸鱿鱼圈。它是日语，不是英语。我在日本常吃。这么简单的词，吃过的人都知道就是裹了面粉炸的八脚小乌贼！还有人写成kalamari或Calamary。Calamary是意大利名菜 (Italian cuisine) squid prepared as food。有人说它来自意大利语：Italian, pl. of calamaro, from Late Latin calamārium, pen-case, from Latin calamārius, relating to a reed pen, from calamus, reed pen (perhaps from the “ink” the squid secretes，实际上就是枪乌贼。
