Squid Salad

The squid is a mollusk, a phylum of creatures which includes the clam, whelk and conch. Unlike its cousins, the squid has no visible shell. But embedded in the mantle is a soft internal plate called a pen, the remains of a once more developed shell.

Fried Squid

When purchasing squid, look for signs of freshness. Color spots on the mantle or skin should be distinct and sharp. The color of the mantle should be bright, like fresh fish. The eyes should be clear and bright and the flesh should be firm and without an odor.
