Me and my buddy went out on 2/07/2010 and brought home 120#s of the giant squid. I sold most of it to local Asian restaurants but saved about 20#s for myself. Here is one good recipe that I did. I have a Lap band so I needed to find a way to make it easy for me to get down. This one I made for S*perbowl Sunday.

2 Cups Buttermilk
2# Chopped up Squid Parts
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 chopped onion
2T Red Hot Hot sauce
2 Cups Panko Bread crumbs
2 Eggs
2 Cups soy flour ( or all purpose)
4 Cups Veggie oil for frying

1. Soak Squid in buttermilk at least 24 hours
2. Place Squid, garlic, onion and hot sauce in a food processor till it looks like pudding (don’t worry this will turn out fantastic!)
3. Scoop 1 Tablespoon at a time into flour,eggs then panko bread crumbs, set aside on clean plate till oil reaches 375 degrees.
4. Fry about 2-3 minutes or till golden brown.Place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
5. Keep warm in 180 degree oven till served
Serve with cocktail sauce or any favorite dipping sauce.

* Note- It’s almost impossible to mess this up and you don’t have to worry about over cooking, because the squid is ground up.

This recipe can also be baked at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes if you don’t want to fry it.

Hope this is helpful!
Enjoy!

The last photo seems to be not squid offal as it is described. Those silvery things look like small fish which are usually found in squid, part of their meal. Or am I wrong?

My husband just went fishing for giant humboldt squid at Bodega bay last Friday and brought home so much of it, we have no idea how to cook it and so far the few ways we’ve tried have not turned out too tasty. You show pictures on your site but do you have any recipes of how to cook it?
Thank you
Cindy
