No it is a unique flavour, I don't like it personally, then there is the way it looks.

I would definitely try a little chunk raw and probably spit it back out...I'm thinking it taste like oysters...?

The only true way to  sample a taste .. is raw...not saying anyone eat anything raw..but if it's cooked with all sorts of spice in oil...your not even tasting what your eating..

No, you have to clean and cook them first.

I'm intrigued...how exactly do you cook a squid  ?  Can it be boiled  ?  Just curious what it would taste like boiled...or raw..

Tastes great, and octopus, as long as it’s cooked correctly. If it’s overcooked it’s like chewing a rubber band. 

More or less. You either cook it very gently for long, or hard and fast, it goes soft then chewy and them soft again.

Tou can eat them raw, no problem. But the flavour is very different, less intense and more ocean.

This one ended up sauted with onion and garlic and a chilly, white wine, then an heirloom tomato for a while to cook it properly, and parsley, a good mix with linguini, and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

Tasted amazing, but the credit goes for the squid. The nice flavour and texture is what you get from buying line caught adult seafood that lived a good life while wild, instead of eating whale blubber like Marcel!

It’s not a fish, it’s a cephalopod.

Have you tried any raw clams ? Like bar clams , oysters, or mussels ?  Think theirs only one way to settle this ...im going to try to find a squid and chew a piece of tentacle raw and see...lol.

Went to the market today. 800 gram squid, bought one for dinner

 

I wonder when in history someone was so hungry that they thought they would try eating that sort of thing.

With a bit of luck the (hairdressers) car will be on the road tomorrow,  I just have a few bits to do to on them both, swap the (new) battery off of the Dacia and put it on the Clio, and give the Dacia,s interior a good clean, SORN it, then put it on Marketplace at the weekend.

Going to SORN the scoot too, the car & scoots VED & insurance are both due next month, i want to get it away from March,  but what to do with the scoot   keep, sell?, not sure, I have my eye on a 125cc but it is 40 miles away, and I don't think it will fit in the back of a Clio
