Ummmm
I caught a small arrow squid, about 20cm, cooked it in a batter in shallow oil, and it was sweet as hell. had to add a bit of salt to balance the flavor.
I caught a large southern calamari squid last night, havent cooked it yet but i didnt think it can be as sweet. but people tell me that southern calamari are much better eating than arrow squids? I think it could well be related to size.
Southern calamari go for a much higher price than arrow squid at the local fish market. but the strange thing is they only stock small squid?? maybe people already know that taste is related to size.
I have been catching more large squid than small.. 60cm+
