This so reminds me of being a young adult. You used to be able to get frozen blocks of squid for dirt cheap. I was teased mercilessly about eating "bait". But no one ever went hungry. ;)

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Wow! It’s not cheap anymore!!!

@@KravingsFoodAdventures I would like your opinion on something. When cooking squid I ran into the "2 and 20 rule". It said(more or less) that you cook squid for less than 2 minutes or more than 20. As your Jedi skills are far superior to mine I'd be interested in your thoughts on the matter. :)

How long are they to be fried? I head you should not over cook squid.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Not long ... about 3 mins per side, but rotate it properly.
