I would definitely try a little chunk raw and probably spit it back out...I'm thinking it taste like oysters...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be boiled ? Just curious what it would taste like boiled...or raw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less. You either cook it very gently for long, or hard and fast, it goes soft then chewy and them soft again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted yesterday at 14:14 Share Posted yesterday at 14:14 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I know I sound like a stuck record ....but I think I will try the scoot on Marketplace again next month. I just looked at my mileage from the past MOT, s I did 350 miles up to the last MOT, the year before I covered 180 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
