Calamari Steaks

The capital city of the swamp nation of Pavageaux has developed a significant tourism industry. From The Listing Mast Tavern which is situated within the shattered hulk of a legendary sailing vessel, to The Temple of the Water Womb where parishioners commune with plant and water elementals, to the Bridge of Lost Souls where rumor has it anyone who crosses it will lose their soul because it will jump off the bridge and sink into the murky water below, to Le Calamar, the famous fabricated gigantic squid that periodically rises up from the water, there are numerous attractions that draw curious travelers from far and wide.
As the town has grown and adapted to service tourists, its cuisine has developed to cater to them, as well as draw from the region's endless supply of seafood. There is no shortage of squid in these parts. They can't or won't spawn in the swamps, but they will do so in the rivers that cross the marshes. They multiply and grow to an impressive size.
The chefs and people who cook in this city have turned tender calamari steaks into both a staple in peoples' homes, and also a treat that residents and tourists can enjoy. Some people grill them, some bread and fry them, some even poach them. Some blacken them, some rub seasfood seasoning on them, and some sprinkle lemon and pepper on them. One entrepeneur has created a version that is served in a paper cone; she calls it "Walking Calamari." Some people have converted boats into "food trucks", and will even deliver steaks to your door for a price.
This savory staple has become a requirement for many tourists and travelers; the city even holds seasonal festivals and awards people for the most delicious or unique recipe; salted caramel was not a hit, but sriracha was.
