Method

To clean fresh squid, rinse it thoroughly, then pull on the head and tentacles until the soft contents of the body slip out. Cut the tentacles off just in front of the eyes. Discard the body contents and the head. Remove the semi-transparent quill from inside the body and rinse the body inside and out, rubbing it with your fingertips to remove any white substance and the fine, dark outer skin.
