Let me say that first, you have to like calamari. If you said YES to that, you will love this luiscious Italian dish. Your fish monger will gladly do the cleaning for you or try it yourself. Makes a great brunch with a salad.

I must admit, I've never been able to handle a squid successfully. But this is a good reason to try again. Did you know that the world's largest invertebrate is the giant squid???? So there!

We have been going to the Chinese market in Kansas City to pick up squid. and no they will not clean them for us. So I am becoming quite adept at cleaning them. Will have to try this one. Thank you for posting it.
