Squid is delectable, try it. Just be careful not to over cook otherwise it gets like rubber. :)Paulette

No garlic and basil! A sacrilege! Have not had in along time, will prepare again soon. Now my Sicilian grandmothers would get along good with you, seafood their specialty. My grandfather use to walk the bottom of the Mediterranean in that big divers helmet, and with a rake gathering up sponges. They were hard workers in the sun and sea. A great grandfather of mine was captain of a ship, and went down with his ship in a storm.

In Malta we usually stuff squid. Takes some time to turn tender.
