' /> 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

Here is a picture of a Humbolt Squid that will soon be cleaned & turned into "Calamari steaks" The tube is opened & appropiate sized steaks are cut. The skin is removed from both sides and it is lightly pounded and cooked in any manner you prefer.
There are thousands of these presently being caught off the coast of southern California. They are breeding in 80-100 foot of water only 2-3 miles from shore. Any white or chrome jig dropped to the bottom & reeled in at high speed seems to work. They are between 10 -75 lbs. 7 put up quite a fight. You better wear raingear when fishing for them as they "squirt" everthing with their ink.
