Click to zoomSquid Tubes (Frozen)
What it is
Cleaned squid tubes — mild, slightly sweet, with a firm bite. The bodies only, so there is no cleaning to do.
How we handle it
Frozen cleaned and sold by weight. Thaw in the fridge and dry them well; wet squid will not fry.
How to cook it
Slice into rings, flour and fry for calamari, or stuff the tubes whole and braise. Either two minutes hot or forty minutes slow — the middle ground is where squid turns rubbery. Classic Fish and Chips with Beer Batter.
Good to know
Buying tubes rather than whole squid costs a little more per pound but there is no waste, so the edible weight works out close to even.
