Dishes with squid - 81 cooking recipes

Thus, Japanese sushi masters invented a recipe for squid that “dances” on a plate - a real spectacle. The whole trick is in a special sauce that contracts the muscles of the mollusk. Chefs often share secrets on how to determine the freshness of this seafood by color and how to clean it. Probably, a resident of Lisbon will need this information before going to the fish market, but for Russian housewives everything is simpler. Squids are delivered to supermarkets already cleaned, frozen and packaged. It's convenient and also safe. After all, fresh catch must be consumed within 24 hours, which is unrealistic. By the way, freezing has a positive effect on the taste of the product, if you do not abuse this process. A properly cooled carcass is beige-white in color, reminiscent of lard. Carcasses measuring 10-15 cm are sold on the shelves of domestic stores. And this is good - the smaller the shellfish, the tastier the meat. By the way, giants several meters long swim in distant seas - how many delicacies can be prepared! It is worth knowing that the fishing season for squid, which is found in the nearest latitudes, is July and August. If the packing dates on the packaging are appropriate and the expiration date is short, you can buy it.
