I am beyong jelous of it all except for cleaning the squid?? How're you cooking it? In sauce or making fried calamari.
I googled how to clean them and was ready for a big production and lots of mess......my partner.....laughed at me.....(in a nice way) and said, he had been cleaning them since he was a little boy and watching his mother and grandmother cook them.....he wasnt interested in my copied instructions and had them all nice and clean in less than 10 mins.
I think we will fry them as calamari....but since he also brought home 5 lobsters....we will cook and eat our fill of those tonight....and if there is left over....pick and save that meat. Tomorrow will be calamari .... since we dont want to freeze the fresh lovely squid. That we will eat with a marinara dipping sauce and perhaps with fried breaded zuchinni slices too.
These meals will be a bit off my diet.....I will try for portion control...but it is my birthday meal.....just a couple of days early.
I figured I have lost about 11 pounds as of this morning.
DP just came home with 4 or 5 lobsters from the fishermans warf. Whooo Whoooo! Plus a bag of squid that need to be cleaned... and a huge swordfish steak and a huge fillet of fresh sword fish.
I am looking forward to the lobsters....cleaning the squid.....not so much......last time he bought the pre cleaned ones.....I dont think he had a clue that he wasnt this time. They are looking at me!
Lucky you! Everythig sounds so good! My dad and borother used to fish for squid. They are so easy to clean. Much easier than fish. You'll be eating good tonight!

Have a wonderful early birthday dinner! Love love squid, so good with garlic mmm. I use an Italian recipe for cooking them long and slow in red wine, tomato and onions, it's sublime....
Looks like we're on a meatloaf roll again!!!! True comfort.
