If they use the same oil, better not to eat it, although you make some good points. The main point would be that the oil has no flavor from the calamari, and if it did, it’s probably noten taam lifgam. But I’d rather not go there for now. I’d prefer to look into that further. For now, if you want something fried, confirm that it is vegetarian and was fried separately from the treif.

Similar to my question re: same oil used for the vegetarian fritters and for calamari, what about (vegetarian) tempura? Assuming the ingredients are OK. Is the oil self-kashering because it is at such a high heat? Thanks!
