The picture says something else

The picture says something else. I think its a Cuttle fish and not a big one at that. Not a squid.

Nice squid. That one probably held enough ink to look like a ship had run aground.


Three days without it and I get a little jumpy

hehe I thought someone might think it was a cuttlefish but sorry Fangler it was definately a big Squid mate.

We kept him in the water for a while so he would get rid of all his ink and then as soon as we brought him in the boat he shot a huge load all over the deck  spewin..

Still say its a Cuttle Fish

The side flaps, the tentacles, and the cross stripes clearly say its not a squid.

Caught a fair few cuttlefish and squid snorkeling around rockingham
and that is a squid. Head isn't big enough to be a cuttlefish.

We only got 3 this day but we weren't really targeting them, decided to get the squid jig out after one of 'em had a go at our sp's... so a pretty opportunistic catch. When they're all this size though it was enough to feed the family and have leftovers for lunch the next day.

Looks like a big squid to me

Looks like a big squid to me for sure. Whatever it is it will taste pretty good.

Have a go with the Salt & Pepper Squid Recipe that was on SBS a while ago, we got some huge squid in Albany last week and cooked them up with this receipe (without the wine) and they came up really good

 

> Salt & Pepper Squid

500g fresh calamari
2 tbsp self raising flour
1 tbsp oil
Cornflour
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
4 green shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red chilli, chopped
2 tsp Shaoxing wine

Five Spice mix
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp celery powder
1 tbsp chicken stock powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp five spice powder

DIRECTIONS

1. Clean calamari by pulling the tentacles from the body. Wash out the tube and remove the clear 'backbone'. Remove the skin, if desired. Cut tentacles from the head and discard heads. Cut tubes into triangles, this helps them to curl during cooking.
2. In a bowl, mix self raising flour, oil and a little water to make a paste. Place calamari pieces and tentacles into the bowl and coat well. Then sprinkle each piece with enough cornflour until the pieces are dry.
3. Combine all ingredients for five spice mix and set aside.
4. Heat enough vegetable oil for deep frying in a wok. Add calamari, in batches and cook until golden and crisp. Remove with a wire basket or slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining calamari. Drain off oil.
5. Add shallots, garlic and chilli to wok. Cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Return squid to wok and add 2 to 3 tsp of the five spice mix. Toss well to combine. Add Shaoxing wine, toss and serve immediately

Tis a Squid I tells ya

Mon, 2008-05-19 19:16

I believe it is a Squid, to be sure! A rather big bugger at that!

Afterall, I am the Lord of the Squid Rings, I should know.

Mind you, the owner of said beast would surely know as soon as he started to clean it.

We've got big buggers like that up in Exmouth, they certainly look different compared to our Souther Calamari so with that angled shot it's easy to mistake!

It's definately a squid

Mon, 2008-05-19 20:33

It's definately a squid boys, we ate it and it had no cuttlebone. It's a dificult angle to determine an ID though.
