Really enjoyed the alternatives (powdered buttermilk and frozen shrimp)

Great video. 5:06 You’re eating overcooked/non fresh calamari. Fresh and prefect cooked calamari is very tender. I highly suggest getting calamari from a higher end restaurant and let me know what you think. Even then it is a gamble that the high end restaurant gets them fresh and cooks them properly but if you get them right you’ll be looking for this comment in the future to send me a reply I promise. 😂😂😂

Ok I’ll def take your word for it, I’ll try to find a way to give it another chance soon
