Our first cutting was done with the Tampa Maid "Dipt-n-dusted" Calamari Rings and Tentacles USPN# 407031. The product was packed 6/2-Lb poly bags per case. Each 2 Lb bag yielded approximately 140 pieces total. Of that we found an average of 50 tenticles, 78 full rings, about 12 broken rings, and about 2 oz of loose breading.
The size of the rings ranged from a large of approximately a 1/2 dollar to a small of about a dime. The tenticles were all about the size of a quarter.
The product has been dipped in a homestyle batter and then dusted with a seasoned flour.
We fried the product in several different fryers, under varying conditions and found that the product was crisp, crunchy, and delicious every time.
The general consensus was 1/3 Lb serving for an appetizer, which cost around $2.00/portion and 1/2 Lb serving for an entree at about $3.00/portion.
