How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Egg Squid
- Good egg squid has bright colors, a characteristic reddish-brown, and when you gently shake it, you can see a shimmering reflection of light. Additionally, the body of the squid should be firmly attached to the head and tentacles, and the eyes should be clear and not cloudy, indicating freshness.
- Moreover, when pressing the squid’s body, it should feel firm and elastic.
- Avoid purchasing squid with cloudy eyes, soft and mushy texture, a disjointed head and body, or squid with a foul smell.
