preparing squid
this is how you prep, or clean a squid.
http://how2heroes.com/videos/techniq...to-clean-squid last night i did it like this, but left the whole tube intact with fins, i then stuffed it with imitation crab, and did it two ways, battered and fried and dipped in lemon/garlic butter, and soaked in teriyaki for an hour then grilled with garlic. tonight i'm gonna do the heads with roma tomato chunks and marinara sauce, and i'm gonna serve it over pasta.

to make it easier and quicker, i get the quill separated from the tube about 1.5 inches in, then i grab the siphon and quill and twist three times and pull the insides all out at once.
and when removing the skin, start at the skirt of the tube.

Nice
^ Wade try Via Itlia in Encinitas their fritto misto is chok full o heads and tentacles. Im sure most would cringe but those little macs esp the spanish make excellent table fair. My Italian mom makes incredible fried macs and chovies. I cant get myself to cook them- go big or go home..... |

You should try going to Tapas Picaso in Hillcrest, my aunt makes a great house salad that has fried squid tentacles. My Aunt and Uncle opened it about 18 years ago. Great food.

Ollie,
I hope you're using top notch olive oil. And, when cooking squid, you either cook it for 1-2 mins max or 1hr. So for your pasta dish, add the squid at the last minute, before you serve. Cook only for alittle, otherwise it will be chewy. Keep up the good work. |

the plan was to sear the heads for 20 seconds, add tomatoes for a minute, and then stir in marinara sauce.
this morning i was made aware of the 60 - 60 rule. thanks!

Ollie,
I made squid with marainara sauce plenty of times. I've even put my squid in a meat grinder, then added it to the sauce. My recommendation is this: Don't sear, then add tomato then stir in marainara, just add the squid into the marainara just before you're done. Cook for as little as possible. I'm glad you like to cook. You'll get more sex that way. |
