How to Clean & Prepare Squid At Home - Marion's Kitchen

[@JoeMaza]

It's called the "gladius" or "pen". It's what's left of the outer shell from millions of years of evolution.

[@samspianos]

and the flaps?

[@inkydink9116]

The flaps are actually the fins of the squid used for swimming.

[@Desi7077]

Beautiful instructions!! For a person unfamiliar with squid, worked like a charm!! Thank you so much ❤😊

[@Didos54088]

What a waste if throwing that ink sac... You can make use for Paella, Spaghetti dying...Risotto... That will make your whole meal be more subtle saltiness and that unexplainable umaminess...😂😅

[@emilyhorrocks3634]

caught a squid last night, dispatched quickly followed this and it was better than any restaurant !

[@SITISITIBOOMBOOM]

Wow I didn't know it would be a piece of cake to clean the squid

[@SilverNinjatv]

The “plastic” is often referred to as the feather and the tough bit between the base of the tentacles is called a beak.

[@patrickbodenham6879]

Imagine in some distant galaxy squids watching a squid on squidtube doing this to a human

[@rosemariedsouza4652]

Very clear and detailed explanation with a smile. Stay Blessed ! I will get down to clean the small squids

[@rossbausone6552]

That plasticy stuff is called a cuticle! :) Thank you for doing this video. My mom, did these but I didn't know about the "skin removal"! Cheers,

[@tanyashemchuk8349]

Love this! As a seafood lover, I found this so useful! Going to make it tomorrow!

[@Marionskitchen]

Awesome! So thrilled you found it useful Tanya. Thank you for letting me know! :-)

[@gigihrahmatikacahyo1795]

Marion, your videos have been helping me sooo much learning to cook during the quarantine. And being an Indonesian, your recipes are so applicable for me. Today I’ve just learn to clean squids! 😍 Sincerely, I thank you!

[@kamdynavi173]

i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

[@prettylyons2880]

Thank you so much. My husband just learned how to prepare squid. It was so good. Thankfully I don't have to wait for him to come home again to eat squid. Your instructions were easy.

[@debracollins8104]

Yes thank you for the great demonstration I was a little overwhelmed at first with the idea of preparing the squid but now after watching you I believe I can prepare the squid/calamri on my own now thank you so much for doing this video

[@MaZEEZaM]

Thanks for this, squid is the only ‘fish’ I was ever able to catch but I always released them as I didn’t know how to deal with them 🦑

[@Marionskitchen]

MaZEEZaM I LOVE squid fishing! That’s one of the reasons I taught myself to clean and prep them myself.

[@MaZEEZaM]

@@Marionskitchen Do you know how to despatch them humainly then?

[@christopherleemcn3776]

Thank you for being a great teacher.

[@jonasdahlberg9217]

Good video! I cleaned and prepared my squids with this. 👍👍

[@CrystalJo]

I think the plastic thing inside of the squid is its bones!

[@makimoto2386]

Matt Syljuberget No, it is not.

[@deanpenny8456]

Great advice about scoring the inside of the squid rather than the outside! Another great tip for your viewers is to marinade the squid with a slice or two of Kiwi fruit, 1/2 hour or more.............really tenderises it.

[@aquationh]

Thank you so much! Really helped me improve my cooking!

[@medaling8338]

Tip: Tenderize calamari - marinate overnight in buttermilk. 😊

[@Metoobie]

Excellent video, squid is one of my favourite foods. Totally agree with you about the legs; luckily, my friends can be a bit nervous about eating anything that even remotely suggests that it was once an animal, so I get them to myself most of the time! :D Trying to educate them, though! Love your videos and charming voice!

[@zulupuping1999]

What legs?

[@angelakovacclaros5234]

This is so nice ☺️! My family will love this!!

[@jellyacecream]

hello, so you notice a yellow tinge on the body of the squid sometimes, it looks like really small eggs, do you know what that is?

[@linketchup]

Splatoon

[@Vicmot]

A novice as I am. I just air fried 400 grams of those without peeling or cutting them first :( Well the skin burned into flesh and the pieces just shrank :( Theyre wasted..

[@leoniedick7022]

Hey Marion I thought there was a ciear membrane inside squid that had to be removed. Is that true or not

[@TheWackyGal]

We were given some squid and it sat in our freezer for quite some time because we were afraid to clean it. Finally I pulled on my big girl pants, watched your video, and did the dirty deed! Thoughts? It was amazingly easy, LOL!! Our squid seemed to be much much smaller, which might explain why I only found one piece of 'plastic' per squid. My fins were tiny so I didn't both trying to separate them from the removed skin- they all got tossed- and I rinsed my tube out after removing the skin but before cutting. But ultimately easy peasy; thank you for the clear concise video for us newbies!!

[@kinnduo5006]

I cooked last night calamari.. The taste is good but the looks is so disgusting because its too black😂😂😂.. I dont know how clean up. And now.. Im so amazed peeling the squid.. Thank you mam for sharing this video.. It helps me a lot❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

my squid all had some kind of white fleshy lumpy ball inside the tube. it looked edible, like white fish meat (or squid meat) but i just threw it out. no idea what it was. it wasn't attached to anything, i didn't need to cut it out.

[@edroberts-graver3223]

If you have caught squid yourself, I find it hard to believe you don't know about the quill and the beak. A bit more respect and knowledge about the animal you are cutting up and eating would have made the video more enjoyable. Nice to see the technique demonstrated though.

[@felsner1]

A feast for the eye... the food AND Marion! 🙂

[@MrDaraghkinch]

Spot on, concise, exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

[@stellaquinert]

Calamari is so much more expensive. ... Any difference in prep?

[@jeanclaireagudo1884]

Thank you, very helpful 😇

[@jannmaui]

Thanks for this 😃! Will definitely try it your way... 🤗🥰☺️

[@barbarascott3257]

How long should you cook or fry squids?

[@lorvin5673]

Great, great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it out there...

[@FlyingChopsticks]

Good video! Love your channel and the way you present !

[@Marionskitchen]

Aw thank you!!! And I've been checking out your channel too! I like your clear instructions and yummy recipes :-)

[@rajramnarine1203]

Hi I love to try squid thanks for your recipe..

[@EmiKimura88]

It is visible that she is not a pro in squid cleaning)))

[@sjjvddyumiherhv3709]

🧤

[@dragonserene1877]

Would you need to flip the head inside out? Sometimes there is a slimy residue inside no?

[@himaya6449]

Omg... that was mind blowing... thank you so much... ☺☺☺

[@ManikWicks]

Thanks Marion 💐🇬🇧❤

[@michaelmertens813]

Thank you, this is very helpful.

[@EmiKimura88]

Why did she leave some skin on the fin? Bad

[@nihuzzarismail4321]

good and simple and to the point. it was nice

[@teddibear96]

Do you wash the squid with water at all before or after cutting it?

[@inamartina9985]

Very well explained

[@LamNguyen-nl8en]

I learnt something new. Love your Asian cookings so delicious

[@Marionskitchen]

Hey thanks Sebastien! :-)

[@anindo73]

loving your videos!

[@patrickmccartney7544]

the clear plastic thing is called a "quill"

[@menes69]

OMG learn at least basics about pieces of animal you cook, this is a bit embarrassing.

[@Khonnell66]

You want to demonstrate better?

[@HardleyJ]

Great vid but two things: The "plastic" bit I think is called the "beak" Ditch the background music, really irritating.

[@spiros1668]

3:57 Which side you put first in the pan the cutted one or the other ?

[@MrCurtisass]

some call that plastic pc the "cuttle bone"
