Bocadillo de calamares (Valencia style) · Valencia
Bocadillo de calamares is the working-day Valencian sandwich: floured fried squid rings on a fresh bread roll, with a lemon wedge and sometimes allioli.
The bocadillo de calamares became a Spanish working-day staple in the post-Civil War years, with each city developing its own version. The Valencian style uses squid from the lonja fish market, dredged in flour (no batter), fried briefly in olive oil and stuffed into a fresh bread roll with a lemon wedge. Central Bar inside the Mercado Central is the canonical Valencian counter version, sourced from the market's own fishmongers metres away.
