Squid

Cleaning

The edible parts of the Squid are the mantle (Tube) and tentacles.

Step 1: Remove the Squid’s Head and cut off the tentacles as a whole.

Step 2: Holding the Squid’s mantle reach inside the squid and remove the intestines and backbone. With a little practice you will be able to do this in one motion. Be careful not to break the ink sack!

Step 3: Skin the Squid. This is done by removing the wings and stripping off the excess skin

Cooking

Here are the two variations that I work with, personally I chop and change the sauces to much to add them in here, as I use Lemon, lime, sweet chilli, Mayo, what ever takes my fancy for the day.

Cut Squid tube down the centre, so you have 1 big flat piece of squid.


Now score the Squid with light criss cross cuts.
Cut the scored squid into 1cm wide and 5cm long pieces.
