NARRAGANSETT, R.I. (AP) — Calamari became the official state appetizer of Rhode Island on Friday when Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed legislation at the town dock here where millions of pounds of squid arrive for processing each year.

About 125 fishing boats in Rhode Island catch half of all the squid brought in on the East Coast annually, Chafee said.
