My reaction the minute I saw the photo. Nice golden crispy panko breading....and according to the article, with the nuke connection, after you enjoy the calamari you’ll glow in the dark. Suhweeeet!

And it’s oozing with brine, calamari...

This has to be real! See the two people wearing safety vests? They ALWAYS wear safety vests around giant sea creatures!
