How to choose fresh squid
- Color: Fresh squid has dark brown spots and the body will be milky white.
- Firmness: Press your hand on the squid’s body; if it is fresh, the flesh will have high elasticity, and the indentation will quickly return to its original state.
- Observe the squid’s eyes: Fresh squid’s eyes are usually bright and clear, and you can see the pupil inside.
- Squid tentacles: When you flip the squid’s tentacles up, you will see the round sucker ends sticking to the tentacles. If these suckers are intact, firm, and securely attached to the tentacles, then it is fresh squid.
