I went last Friday for the first time ever. Between me and my friend we got 14 in an hour or so.

are the majority of you taking them home for the table or freeze for bait? Id like to try that sometime soon. Is there anything you need to do to make them edible as far as the ink goes?

No worries - their *flesh* doesn't stain from the ink...once you remove their innards, eyes, beak and gladius (what I call their plastic spine)....it's all good.

I like head(s) **oops>, so I normally cut the tentacles as close to the beak as possible without engaging the beak...you should be able to keep all the tentacles together without clipping the beak. I don't keep the part that houses the eyes either...if you puncture the eyes, they'll bleed goo-ee ink-like fluid. They also tend to squirt most of their ink as they exit the water...(that's where you can have fun with the people on the side of you).

I also don't do their wings, different texture from the body...more of a cartilage-like feel.

*** Any ink you can salvage can be sold to Staples for ink cartridge refills. "That was EASY!"...

Happy /Squidding....it won't last forever!!!
