I have eaten squid and love it when it is done correctly (not over cooked). I would like to try cooking with squid. I would have to YouTube cleaning videos'.

It's really easy and 'clean'. Much easier than preparing fish. The first time I tackled a squid I made husband read instructions from a Rick Stein book. YouTube sounds better

Cleaning squid is a thing that intermediates me. IDK why. I can clean a fish blindfolded.

Slow long cooked squid is another way to cook it and is fantastic. I should enter my recipe for that...
