  • Calamari and I have a love/hate relationship. Will give this a go and hopefully the calamari will cook ok not tough.

  • I wouldn’t have thought to combine the sauces like that, makes me realise I can do it for other things too!

  • OMG, this looks amazing. I love calamari and I love the tip of mixing oyster and plum sauce together. Definitely trying that on.
