Cleaning Calamari

Print Save Article

Cut off tentacles just above the eyes. Squeeze the cut end of tentacles to remove and discard beak. Set tentacles aside. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, scrape along the body from the tail to the opening. Push out and discard entrails, being careful not to break the flesh. The skin is edible; no need to remove it. Reach into the body, remove transparent quill, and discard. Prepare squid according to your recipe.
