Tips for Choosing Fresh and Delicious Squid Tubes
- To achieve a delicious and crispy garlic sautéed squid, you need to choose squid tubes that are just right in size, not too large, still fresh, and thick-bodied.
- Choose squid with bright pink flesh, firmly attached head to body, stiff tentacles, and intact ink sac.
- Avoid squid that has turned slightly whitish-green, with flabby flesh, detached head from body, and a fishy smell as it indicates spoiled squid, not fresh anymore.
- Instead of selecting squid tubes, you can also opt for some other types of squid such as cuttlefish, squid inkfish... However, squid tubes will be thicker and crunchier, making them most suitable for garlic sautéing.
