the other part is the body. It's sliced into rounds about an inch in
diameter and 1/4 inch wide. They are fine, but they aren't crunchy
like the legs. You have a whole bunch of rings and a few crunchy
legs. I often order just the appetizer plate of calamari (it's huge)
which I split with hubby who orders a hamburger. When one of us say's
let's go to Joe's for surf & turf, that's what we're planning to eat.
