    Will the squid slip when I cut it?
    Community Answer
    Not if you dry it first. Dry the squid off with a paper towel after cleaning, cut, then season.

  • Question
    How do I make the meat of the squid soft and juicy when I put it in boiling water?
    Community Answer
    Boiling it will not make it soft and juicy. Squid, in general, has a tougher consistency. Like most seafood, it should be cooked quickly. So, if you are cooking it in a soup, it should be added at the very end of the cooking process, shortly before serving. Otherwise, it should be marinated and grilled or breaded and fried.

  • Question
    How can I keep the oil from exploding when I cook squid?
    Community Answer
    Make sure your squid is dry. You can use a paper towel to dry them. Also, they will be dry if you used seafood seasoning.

  • Question
    How long can I keep cooked squid refrigerated?
    Community Answer
    3 to 4 days before it starts to get a weird taste. After it's in the fridge for too long, it starts to pick up the different scents from other foods and it makes the squid taste different.

  • Question
    Can I freeze raw squid?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can, as long as it is frozen as soon as possible after it has been caught and cleaned. You need to eat it straight away once you have thawed it out. Do not freeze it uncleaned for human consumption only freeze it uncleaned if you are going to use it for fishing bait.

  • Question
    CanI leave stuffed and cooked calamari tubes sitting in sauce for several hours without refrigerating them?

    Once the calamari is made will it be okay to keep it warm for half hour until dinner time but needs refrigerating after that.
