I bought it already cleaned from the fish shop. But it's quite easy to clean squid if you're not squeamish. You need to take away thin purple skin on the body, extract the plastic back bone of the squid with your hands and gauge every innards out and then cut off the eyes of the squid as well as squeeze it's beak from its mouth out. There is a black ink sac that's attached to the tentacles, the guts, just cut that off and throw away or you can reserve the black ink for an interesting black pasta recipe ;)Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07069991632592422128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37209461.post-38093224070013517762009-05-03T01:56:00.000-04:002009-05-03T01:56:00.000-04:00This dish looks amazing. I never cook calamari because I have no clue how to clean them. I'll have to give it a try sometime.judyfoodiehttp://www.culinaryescapade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37209461.post-38170695333451270952009-05-02T22:28:00.000-04:002009-05-02T22:28:00.000-04:00Yea, I know what you mean about deep-frying them. It's like it's all we do with squid but they can be so much more. I like them stuffed too, I cook them longer then, in a stew-like way.Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07069991632592422128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37209461.post-54387960186726685612009-05-02T21:25:00.000-04:002009-05-02T21:25:00.000-04:00Rubber ducky chewy. ha. I know exactly what you mean. I cooked them briefly too. I will try your recipe. I have some squid and I hate to deep fry it all the time. I still have not done the long cook method. Maybe I will get brave soemtime and try it.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16945911444997924849noreply@blogger.com
