How to COOK a live squid! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Now that we know how to catch and rig them. What do we do with the leftover squid at the end of the day when no YT wants to bite?

I have some in my freezer-- just don't know how to prepare for dinner!!

Otherwise-- it can be bait in the future!

Any recipes? Thanks....

Squid sauted with red wine and cinnamon is delicious. Sounds strange, but everyone who's tried it loves it. Pretty good grilled with oil and herbs. I also like to stuff them with lobster or shrimp and saute in a light white wine and tomato sauce. I find these squid don't make the best fried calamari, but it's not bad either.

Eat as fresh as possible and clean well. If it smells funky at all after you clean it, it's bait.
