Okay, here's the words from the RI Department of Environmental Management web page:
[size="-1"]Anyone who is recreationally fishing for shellfish, lobsters, crabs, or squid, does not need a recreational fishing license (or a federal registration). However, a separate RI recreational lobster license is needed to take lobsters, and for non-residents, a separate recreational shellfish license is needed to take shellfish. Additionally, non-residents may not harvest blue crabs.[/size]

Squid are not fish, and they are not shellfish.
