Method

Wash the squid carefully, rinsing off any ink. Holding the body firmly, pull away the head and tentacles. If the ink sac is intact, remove it and discard. Pull out all the innards including the long transparent “pen” Peel off and discard the thin purple skin on the body, but keep the two small side fins. Slice the head across just under the eyes, severing the tentacles.
