Cephalopods are relatively inexpensive and good value as there’s very little waste They’re also very easy to clean and prepare, so it’s worthwhile buying whole fresh Australian products rather than frozen, already cleaned, imported ones.
When choosing cephalopods, look for:
- brightly coloured, lustrous skin;
- firm and intact flesh and tentacles;
- no discolouration;
- a pleasant fresh sea smell.
Buy whole squid and clean them yourself, rather than buying pre-cleaned squid tubes that are often imported frozen.
