Camo1808 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hey everyone. I got my first squid the other day. Cleaned it then and there at the beach then took the head home. As i wanted to eat it a few hours later i just put it in a bowl in the fridge with foil over the top. When i went to go eat it it seemed a bit hard. Is this normal or is there certain ways to keep the flesh nice and soft?? Cheers Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinfisher 4.9 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Another alternative is keep it whole in salt water until you get it home. That way it will be very fresh and saves on milk!

amkr Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 let mine sit in pineapple for 4 hours, melted in my mouth. The enzymes break it down. Keep in mind it gets more rubbery the more its overcooked too. People eat it raw so don't be afraid to ease up a bit on the cooking time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfisher 4.9 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Or an hour or so marinating in lime juice will also do the trick. And yes, do not overcook, 30 seconds is enough or even try it raw after marinating in the lime juice.

brad_tate Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Marinating in Lime juice effectively cooks the squid - any acid will do this including lemon and vinegar. This is the basis of a ceviche. So when marinating fish in anything with lemon or lime juice, don't marinate for too long and cook it for less time otherwise you will end up with dry meat.
