Oddly enough, by saying the legs are the best part makes
me think, yuck, what are the other parts.

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.
