Cooking: How to clean and prepare raw squid for cooking

I haven't prepared squid in a number of years, but they looked pretty good at the Asian market today.

In case you haven't tried cooking with fresh squid before I put up a little video here of me preparing the squid for cooking.

Once you have it cleaned, you can then cook it any number of ways.

Tonight I made it salt and pepper pan fried style, tossed with broccoli and glazed with an Asian sauce

Thanks!

thanks for this :) i bought squid there earlier and was too timid to ask the fishmonger to clean it :P but hey nothing wrong with a challenge for a budding cook!

This video was perfect because i tried cleaning the squid on my own without knowing how, last time, and it was a mess. Now i can cook my favorite filipino dish and clean the squid the RIGHT way. heheh. Maybe next time i'll try make calamares. Thanks so much! Aloha.

@Vindaturk 500 Smith & Wesson. I've only fired it once since then. It's more of a collection piece. The ammunition is too expensive, lol :D

This is another awesome video. I will buy some squid next month and give it a try. I remember when I first watched your videos. There was one where you were firing a revolver. I believe it was either a 44 or a model 500. Do you still fire it at all? For home defense do you think it will over penetrate?
