WATCH: How to Prepare Squid

Squid (pusit) is one of the healthiest, and most affordable seafood options in the market. Getting it ready to cook is actually a quick and simple process. Follow these steps to prepare squid for making delicious recipes:

1 Remove the head from the body.

2 Remove the beak from the tentacles.

3 Remove the ink sac.

4 The bottom part of the tentacles should be discarded.

5 Remove the cuttlebone from the body. This is the transparent, brittle internal structure in the body of the squid.

6 Always check for freshness. If the squid smells fishy, it means it’s not fresh.

7 Slow-cook the squid over low heat to keep its tenderness.
