Nutritional values

With their low fat and calorie content, squids are quite rightly considered a good catch. Together with olive oil, fried squids become a healthy meal: with almost 80 percent unsaturated fatty acids, olive oil has a proven beneficial effect on both cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

Even though many have learned otherwise: olive oil can be heated relatively high for frying. Only when it starts smoking does it become critical or unhealthy, because it then burns and toxic substances are formed.
