AnswerCalamari is simply the Italian word for squid (similarly, Spanish calamares). It denotes nothing about the size of the animal or preparation of the dish.Menu compilers maybe refer to calamari thinking that it sounds more appetizing than squid.
Calamari is the name representing the species of squids which have side fins running on the full length of the body. Squids have fins, but these run only for short distance on the sides of the body. Calamaris are similar to the squids in many respects, but are often more tender when compared to the other squids.

- Sure, Sunnis Muslims are allowed to eat squids as one of the fish types so far it is not poisonous or harmful to health..
- Qur'an says (meaning English translation): "Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihram. And fear Allah to whom you will be gathered." (5:96)

- While Sunnis from the Maliki, Hanbali, and Shafi'i schools hold as is said above, the Hanafi school disagrees in this regard and holds that only certain fishes are permissible, making squid makruh and haraam. The Hanafis refer to the fact that the Jews were only able to eat certain fishes and that this limit survives in Islam because of the following Qur'anic verse (meaning English translation): "Say, "Have you seen what Allah has sent down to you of provision of which you have made [some] lawful and [some] unlawful?" Say, "Has Allah permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [something] about Allah ?"" (10:59). Hanafis argue that this does not contradict 5:96 since 5:96 indicates that seafood is permissible, not that ALL seafood is permissible.
