Seagoon Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi all, Has anyone got an tips for getting the ink out of squid and storing it in a reasonably controlled manner? I have been told the following - does anyone concur? "If you treat the squid gently, with a landing net they seldom drop their ink. Take them out of the net, point away from self and gently squeeze until the squid squirts it water jet reserves out then place in ice slurry so that squid goes to sleep. When you pull its head/guts/tentacles off the ink sac is usually still intact. place whole sac with others in a jar of sea water and store in bait fridge or, even better, use fresh from the squid."

heffron Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'd assume leaving it in the fridge wouldn't be as good as using it fresh. Fresh always seems to be the best choice, from word of mouth and my experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
