No question...salt and pepper squid is a firm favourite in Australia across the nation. It may even be called one of Australia's national dishes despite its origin being Chinese. We do love our seafood here in this country. And in the summertime even more so. We were lucky enough to create this recipe for the Murray River Salt Flakes book early in 2022. I have been craving it ever since and although I can easily make it of course, I am always onto the next thing and the next! So take a minute, put this on your list and make sure you have it on regular rotation. That tamarind sauce can go the distance. YUM!
