Never Prepared Squid Before ? Here is how it is done. It's easy really. Hold the squid body in one hand. Grab the tentacles with the other hand and pull. The tentacles will come away, together with the insides of the squid. Cut the tentacles off the body, just below the eyes, and discard everything else. In the center of the tentacles,you will find the hard mouthpart, or beak, of the squid. Push it out and discard. Reach inside the body with a finger, and pull out the clear quill like thing and discard. Pull off the skin from the body. Now give everything a good wash with running water, and make sure all the inside stuff has gone from the body. Finished ! |
