2017 Rhode Island Squid Report

[alaskanaturally]

Local Seafood place here in Pawcatuck/Westerly has been bringing in fresh squid almost daily from a boat I believe is out of Stonington (I could be wrong on this one but I do know its local). Big tubes with uncleaned prices around 3.99lb (a whopping 10.99 for cleaned).

Also, mackerell makes for great sushi called Saba but does take a bit of work involving bone tweezers and a short marinade. AlaskaNaturally  did you catch them with hook and line or a throw net?

 

Dec.8th Frances Fleet is still catching extended half day Tautog. Crazy.

We caught them Sabaki rigs. We had a few with very small hooks, perhaps #12, that worked real well but we lost many lifting them from the water. The ones with #6 or 8 worked well and minimized fish shaking off.

 

We always eat Saba and the herring make great sushi also. Canned up a bunch like sardines so we can take them on our trips. Today, we're smoking mackerel, bluefish, eel, herring and trying squid.
