Calamari steaks - Guest - 01-04-2003 <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Can someone please answer the question about HOW Calamari steaks are made. I have been told that a "steak" is formed of small pieces or ground up squid. My friend says it is just a large squiid that has been cleaned & cooked. Thanks for any info you may have on this issue.gramsy10@aol.com Calamari steaks - glen - 14-04-2003 Hey marlene, I did a search for calamari steaks on the google image directory and found the following images: i can't really tell if this is processed squid or just whole squid pieces. regards, glen Calamari steaks - Joe G - 15-04-2003 perhaps The stakes are made from "colossal squid " <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />: <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />: <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />: <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />: Calamari steaks - Guest - 19-04-2003 Would'nt calamari steaks be a halved or quartered head . You cut squares or diamonds into it ( like you would a mango ) and bbq it quickly on a hotplate . That's what I've done in the past ( bought not caught ) . Calamari steaks - yevrah - 15-05-2003 Quick search on google returned this tidbit of information: Tenderized fillets of giant squid, dosidicus gigas (about five foot in length), are sold as calamari steaks. Isaac Cronin's "International Squid Cookbook", ISBN 0-943186-07-2, suggests that Grande Calamari are found "along the Pacific coast of South America up to the Mexican-U.S. border", though I believe they are also fished in the western Pacific (thank you Trader Joe).

[right][post="318"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] I think that a calamari would be pounded out like a tough cut of meat. just put between a layer of plastic wrap and pound with your meat hammer. I am sure that would atleas do somthing to tenderize it. I have not tried it though so, I am pretty much making this up as I go along. LOL. I would think after pounding it , you could wrap somthing in it, and tie it if you wanted to and broil for awhile. I mean, it is just protein right. Just like a tough cut of meat. Damn, now I want to try it. I will try and let ya all know
