How to choose fresh and delicious squid
- Fresh and delicious squid has a dark brown body, and the white part is opaque like milk and shiny.
- Fresh squid usually has firm meat and high elasticity, with all the tentacles intact and tightly attached to the squid’s head.
- Fresh squid often has very bright and clear eyes, allowing you to see the pupil inside clearly.
- Non-fresh squid tends to have slightly soft and mushy meat, and the eyes are usually very dull and cloudy.
- Do not buy if you see the tentacles falling off, as it is likely that the squid is no longer fresh. In particular, if the squid is fresh, the tentacles are very firm, while the tentacles of spoiled squid are usually soft and mushy.

Grilled Squid
