How to clean and prepare whole baby squid
I think the best way to show how to clean and prepare whole baby squid is to watch the video. I tried doing step photos but it would require so many!! So here’s the video, and a written description of the steps is below. And that’s it! Baby squid cleaned and ready for cooking. Peel off most of the skin off the wings. Don’t worry if you can’t get it all off. The really thin skin won’t be tough once cooked. Set the wings aside – they are now ready for use! The tube is now ready for use! And now the tentacles are ready for cooking! Off you go to make the ultra Crispy Salt and Pepper Squid! – Nagi x PS If all this is too daunting for you, just make Salt and Pepper Squid using pre-cleaned squid tubes sold at the fish monger that look like this: They come from a larger squid and the walls of the tub are thicker so it’s not as soft and tender as baby squid. But as long as you don’t overcook, it is still very tender!
