    One-sun-dried squid ranked 10th among 33 delicious squid dishes named with 4.1/5 points.

    The famous culinary website introduces this as a traditional dish originating from Phan Thiet. Fresh, large squids that have just been caught will be dried in the sun for a day, then grilled.

    Grilled one-sun-dried squid is the best way to prepare it. You have to adjust the temperature when grilling because if the temperature is too high, the squid will cook quickly, hard on the outside but still raw on the inside. During the grilling process, the squid gradually turns light yellow and gives off a fragrant smell.

    "Cut the grilled squid into small pieces, eat with fish sauce and chili or chili sauce. Don't forget to have a glass of cold beer," Taste Atlas suggests.

    Topping the list is kalamar tava, a traditional Turkish dish, with 4.6 points. The squid is cleaned, cut into thick slices, soaked in milk, then dipped in a mixture of flour, yeast and salt and fried until crispy. The squid pieces can be seasoned with herb powder or chili powder, dipped in sauce and a few slices of lemon. The dish is often served as an appetizer.

    "The World's Best Squid Dishes" as of the date of publication on May 15 has recorded 1,006 reviews, of which 745 were recognized as valid by the system.
