Live Small Squid

[goodsamaritan]

Had live small squid for lunch yesterday.

How to prepare:

Wash with water.
Get a dipping bowl for real natural vinegar.
Dip squid a few seconds just to "clean" it due to handling in the market.
Eat.
Show your nice black tongue.
My 5 year old girl found this delicious with me.

How to tell if a squid is still alive:
It's skin color keeps changing / rippling.

Looks yummy wish I could buy fresh squid where I live but never seen any.
Beautiful picture has always Goodsamaritan!

I don't think I'll try that. I mean popping a wriggling, live animal into my mouth is a bit too odd for me. The live oysters  and live mussels I eat don't wriggle, thank god.

These squid were too weak to wiggle.
It is octopus who wiggle.

Still, it's a bit cruel to eat them alive, like that. I don't mind eating live oysters or mussels as they are so non-sentient that it's like eating bacteria or whatever, but live raw squid are quite bright(well, at least octopi have been shown to be very intelligent creatures among wild sea-life). I do think they should be (humanely and quickly) killed first.

Those are cute! I think biting them will kill them pretty quickly.

Cool! I would swallow them whole so they can take a wild roller coaster ride into my tummy. Least I gave them a good 'childhood' experience.
