Squid & Calamari Cooking tips.

  • Squid must be cooked either a very short time or a very long time. Anything in between turns it into rubber. Two minutes over high heat is plenty. Beyond that will require at least 30 minutes to an hour to re-tenderize it.
  • 12 ounces whole squid or 6 ounces cleaned = 1 standard serving.
  • Those weighing less than 10 ounces are the most desirable for tenderness. However, if you are looking to harvest the ink, you’ll want squid longer than 5 inches.
