Are you concerned about the freshness? If so, you should still be able to use frozen squid for this recipe as long as it is thawed.

You are welcome. I’m glad you liked it.

Hi Esther, my mom showed me how to clean a squid. For whole bodied squid, go to the head right in the very center of the top of the tentacles is the mouth or beak, remove the whole circle. Then find the spine, it’s is sharp and feels like plastic, remove this too. Sometimes you can’t get this out all the way and will have to dig your finger inside the body cavity to pull out the rest. Go to the head, the organs are attached below. Find a shiny silver pouch--this is the ink sac. It’s a bit tricky to separate this without popping the sac and getting black ink all over your fingers. Practice makes perfect! Rinse the inside and outside of the squid. I like to keep the organs intact and cook it as it’s tasty to me!
