Directions:

  1. Clean squid by gently pulling head and tentacles away from the body.

  4. Remove side wings and fine membrance from body.
  5. Rinse body, tentacles and wings thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen paper.

  11. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper.
  12. Repeat process with remaining squid.
