How to clean squid (pre-treatment)

Lightly rinse the squid under running water. Insert your fingers into the area where the head and liver are connected, hold down the head, and pull out the legs

There is squid ink in the center of the liver, so peel it off carefully so as not to tear the ink

Cut off the base where the legs and liver are attached. *Be careful not to damage the liver

The squid's legs (tentacles) have suction cups, so scrape them off with a knife

Make a slit in the middle of the leg and open it. There is cartilage at the base of the leg, so cut this off with a knife

Rinse the inside of the head thoroughly under running water. There is a bony core inside, so pull it out and remove it

Next, hold the triangular part of the head with one hand and firmly grasp the flesh with the other, and peel the skin off by tearing it with the same amount of force

The skin of the squid is attached to the surface, so use your thumb to peel it off. *It is easier to peel it off if you use a towel

Cut into bite-sized pieces and you're done
