Squid and cuttlefish

These are very popular in Greece, especially during the winter months, when they are often fried to accompany frugal Greek dishes such as cannellini bean soup or wilted spinach with rice and dill. In addition, they are made into dishes in their own right, often with rice, spinach or potatoes. If you buy squid or cuttlefish from the fishmonger, they will probably prepare it for you, given sufficient notice. However, there may be occasions when you need to prepare it yourself – in which case, read the box below!
