In Spanish tapas, what is the name of fried squid rings served with lemon?

In Spanish tapas, fried squid rings are called calamares fritos.

The dish is made by cutting cleaned squid into rings, coating them lightly in flour or batter, and frying them until tender inside and crisp outside. Lemon is a common accompaniment, while some regions serve the rings with mayonnaise or another sauce.

Calamares are found throughout Spain, from seafood restaurants to neighborhood tapas bars. The word calamar means squid, and the plural calamares refers to the prepared seafood or to squid generally.

This dish is related to, but distinct from, calamares a la romana, a batter-coated version especially associated with Madrid and other Spanish cities. The term calamares fritos is broader and describes the fried preparation without requiring one particular batter style.
