Cooking tips
- Using flour when cleaning squid effectively removes its natural slime and fishy smell.
- Butter burns easily at high temperatures, so always maintain medium-low heat throughout cooking to prevent burning and achieve even browning.
- Pressing the squid with a heavy bowl or rice bowl while grilling keeps it flat and prevents curling, resulting in an even, attractive shape.
- Make the cuts after grilling to help the squid retain its shape and cook evenly.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a simple yet elegant appetizer to enjoy with cold beer at home.
- Fans of the juicy, chewy squid grilled at highway rest stops who miss that nostalgic taste.
- Beginners who struggle with squid shrinking or curling unevenly during cooking.
