Squid has mild, sweet flesh with a firm, springy bite and a faint taste of the sea. The rule is fast or slow. Flash it over high heat for a minute or two, or braise it for 30 to 45 minutes until it turns tender again, and it toughens anywhere in between.

We sell it whole and cleaned at the Barnes counter, the quill, membrane and beak removed, with the tube ready to slice into rings or open flat and score. The tentacles are sweet, so keep them.

Flour rings and fry them for salt and pepper squid, sear scored tube in a smoking pan for under a minute or braise it slowly with tomato, white wine and chilli.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

Squid is a cephalopod with mild, sweet flesh, a firm, springy bite and a faint taste of the sea. We sell it whole and cleaned, the quill, membrane and beak removed, with the tube ready to slice into rings or open flat and score.

How to cook it

The rule is fast or slow. Flash it over high heat for a minute or two, or braise it for 30 to 45 minutes until it turns tender again, and it toughens anywhere in between. Flour rings and fry them for salt and pepper squid, sear scored tube in a smoking pan for under a minute or braise it slowly with tomato, white wine and chilli.

Recipe

From the Journal: salt and pepper squid.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. Squid freezes well for up to three months and some cooks find freezing helps tenderise it. Freeze it cleaned and defrost in the fridge overnight.
