How to Choose Fresh Squid
- You should choose squid that has bright colors; the fresher the squid, the clearer and shinier the flesh will be.
- For fresh squid, when you gently press it with your hand, the flesh should feel firm and elastic. Additionally, the eyes of fresh squid will be clear and not bulging.
- Conversely, avoid choosing squid that has a dull color, torn skin, soft and mushy flesh, as this indicates the squid has been stored for too long, resulting in less sweetness and a mushy texture instead of being crispy.
