Is Squid Healthy To Eat?

[quote name='Bent_Rod' post='13717' date='Feb 20 2009, 01:49 AM']hi fellas

I was always cooking my calamari by adding batter and shallow frying them. Most of the time i would get so full from the batter. I really enjoy the taste of the calamari so i decided to cook the squid using the george foreman grill. I marinated the calamari pieces in olive oil, cracked pepper, ground pepper and tiny bit of lemon. It didnt take long for them to cook, but when they did they smelt like eggs???? I didnt use any sauce or side dishes, i just ate it by itself, and it tasted good. A good fresh quick meal.[/quote]



I also enjoy fresh squid in a light beer batter... no doubt its yum, but like you, i get sick and full eating so much batter.



I know that egg smell you talk about, i got that last time a cooked a really thick piece of squid (was 1cm thick)



Another way i have done it to be healthy and tasty is to cut the tube open and make it flat.

Then score deep cross hatching in it with a sharp knife.

Marinate in olive oil, fresh choped chili, sea salt and cracked pepper, you can also add garlic to the mix.



Pan fry in a clean dry hot pan (enough oil still on the squid from marinade) cut side down first

Then flip over onto to unscored side and press down firm with an egg flip while its cooking.

When you release the egg flip, the squid will spring into a tight ring.



Once cooked, you can either eat as it is or cut it into slices and add to your favorite salad.



Very Healthy meal indeed.
