Fried Squid Ring (イカリングフライ) is squid sliced into “rings,” coated with Panko and deep-fried. It could be an appetizer dish to go with drinks or a tasty entree for dinner.
Fried Squid Ring is more a home cooking dish than restaurant food. It can be served at some diner-type restaurants, but more often, you may find it at Izakaya, food and drink bars. It is like fried calamari in the US, but Fried Squid Ring is definitely always coated with Panko bread crumbs.
