Mon Morning Squid sesh off Woodies
Submitted by hunterdive on Mon, 2011-05-16 11:26
Had the day off work today, so I headed out for a quick squid bash in the tinny. Picked up a couple of corkers out towards Carnac, then things slowed. I had to start heading back so I went right in close behind to the beach behind the groyne and picked up another 7 or so and 2 cuttlefish. Back home by half 10 with a good feed to tea. Got to love a solo session, was a little windy out there, but still nice.
First time I've kept a cuttly, anyone have any tips for cleaning, preparing cooking. For what I've seen on a quick search it seems you cook it just like squid, quick and hot. Seem like slimy buggers.

cuttlefish
just like a big squid but a little tastier imo
just take out the bone/shell thing and all the internal gizzards and cut the thick side into strips, the tenticles are great to eat also. there skin is tougher than squid so i just leave it on you dont even notice it

They can handle a bit more
They can handle a bit more cooking too without getting chewy so you can get them nice and crispy..mmm..Cutlefish chips.

I have the Cuttlefish
I have the Cuttlefish sorted. First one took a little longer than a squid, but the 2nd was heaps easier once I worked it out. Lots of ink in them, and they seem to stay alive in an ice slurry longer than squid. Tea should be good. Thanks for the feedback
