I couldn't make it if I wanted to...I can't find it in any grocery store near me. I'm not a huge fan of it, so I don't really mind that I can't make it at home.
Yes, I've made it before and it came out great EXCEPT for the smell! You need to have an industrial fan or good ventilation otherwise your house will reek of it!
Now I prefer to go out for squid.
brief excerpts from a blog post I wrote on the subject:
Many groceries carry frozen, pre-cleaned squid in their seafood section. It is tasty, inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly. More people should cook it at home.
Many people are afraid of cooking squid, thinking that it will get tough and chewy. The trick to avoiding this is simple: either cook it very briefly or cook it for a long time.
I thought about it for a sec and I don't want to turn you first-timers off from trying to cook it at home. I made pepper-salted squid which required me to deep fry and quickly pan fry it. I
think the deep frying was what made my house so smelly. That and all of the garlic.
If the restaurant menu has it, I'm definitely ordering it. I personally can't cook to save my life. If any one is in the Chicago area, I recommend Kuma's corner for the calamari, the sauce is
to die for.

This soup ends up being a good source of three blood pressure-lowering minerals since the milk adds calcium and the potatoes deliver a dose of potassium, as well as magnesium.
I've never made it at home but I'd be up for trying it. I LOVE calamari!
1We can't find it anywhere. So no, we don't.
2None of the above!!! I LOVE calamari, but don't know HOW to cook it at home
3No fair?! How can you post such a yummy pic and not have a recipe ready for me? Meanie,lol.
4nope - i don't eat calamari (or any fish for that matter)
5Hmmm. Now that I think about it, I can't remember ever making it at home. You know what that means: time to give it a try!

11I don't make the deep fried stuff at home (lack of a deep fryer and ventilation system), but I do make squid stir fries.
12partysugar, once you do, we want details!!

14Never tried making it at home, but I'd definitely be up for the challenge.
15If you shared the recipe for the above image I'll definitely try to make it at home!
16Yes, heads are my fav and hubby does the prep work. Can't beat that!
17Cook these at home? Hells no.
18"Many groceries carry frozen, pre-cleaned squid in their seafood section."
Not true. I've tried 5 stores.
19it is soo easy to make at home!
20Best place to find it? asian markets in the frozen food section!
I buy it and its already cleaned, and i just have to thaw it and fry it up!
21Yeah, now that you mention it, I am surprised I've never thought to make it. I'm obsessed with calamari. I guess it always seemed easier to order it.
22pre-veg, calamari was my FAV!
