Regarding Squiding off the Croatian islands....I am very surprised that Ozelot did not catch any squid as we have done very well there in years past.
I live in NJ, but my family is from an Island near Zadar, Croatia.....about 1 1/2 hour car ride north of Split. I have been back there for about 15 summer trips and have gone squid fishing with my grandfather very often. We always catch at least 1 squid per person. However, over the years, the Italian fisheries have over fished the Croatian coast and the all the fish have become more and more scarce.
In any case, I'll be there for 2 weeks inearly August and I will let you guys know how we did.
As for the food preperation, we usually get home around midnight, grandma cleans the squid, slices it, lighlty breads it and cooks it in homemade olive oil. Served with homemad vino, it makes a delicious midnight snack!
