If you have fresh squids, clean them and deprive them of the bone and bags of black that you will put aside - if you have already prepared and cleaned squids, skip this step. Also remove the eyes and the beak and cut them into strips (if you prefer, have your fishmonger do the cleaning operation). Wash them well and put them to drain. |
