The Spanish translation for the cephalopod mollusk with ten arms is “calamar.” As a culinary term, “calamar” refers to the squid itself, often prepared in various dishes such as fried calamari or grilled squid. For example, one might order “calamares a la romana” (battered and fried squid) in a Spanish restaurant.
Accurate translation of culinary terms is crucial for clear communication in international contexts. This is especially important in the food industry, tourism, and scientific research concerning marine biology and fisheries. Proper understanding of these terms prevents misinterpretations and facilitates global trade and collaboration.
