Awesome video. I live in southern Spain so calamari in every supermarket, never had the courage to tackle it until today - I really enjoyed it and it tasted lovely. Thanks Scott!
Thank you so much for the advice. My first attempt before watching this video went awful, as the poor squid turned to rubber and I could not stomach eating it. The real time cooking helped so much, I can't wait to try again.
Fried calamari is my favorite food. Now, thanks to this amazing video I can prepare it! My only questions are, why can't you cook the long tentacles, and can you do anything with the eyes & guts? Why can't you batter & fry everything like a prawn?
great video. thanks for taking the time to share. I am sat on a beach in Oman right now with two freshly caught squid given to me by someone who just came out of the ocean and I have no idea how to prepare them. But now I do!!
Thanks GTC,really appreciate your feedback,im a big fan of taking good ingredients and cooking them simply,they tasted great.You gotta love a bit of Christopher cross,such a cool track,many thanks.
Thanks for the video, today I walked by the market in Amsterdam... always (for years) wanted to make squid but never knew how to make it. This video is so simple it will help the common man out and let him cook like a Michel star chef. I even saw you put some lemon juice prior in the pan but only a real video expert could see that quick move. Nice keep up the video's maybe octopus next?
Mmmmmmm ate loads of these tonight fried in garlic and soy sauce.......delicious! My whole family were retching just at the sight of the tentacles but I love them x
If I manage to catch any this weekend.. I'll certainly be using your video for reference. Great soundtrack, too. Goes perfectly with these kinds of videos.
Thanks man! Very helpful information! I just cooked my first squid the way you explained and it came out perfect! :) Thanks again! "Resole your shoes for free" made me laugh, because my dad did it once I think he didn't even peel the skin. :D
Squids are the cutest animals!!!! They are vital to the ecosystem, they are intelligent and aware of themselves. More should be done to protect them. What most people consider a “nuisance” or “dinner” is really an interesting animal that offers more than meets the eye.
Right, but they are also delicious; I agree with animal rights but it also is natural for us to eat this. Look at Japan... one of the healthiest nations... also extremely pescatarian.
Beautiful and instructive video. Can I just suggest for the cooking part perhaps to use a bit of white wine, as the garlic was coloring a bit too much, and for flavor :) A nice alternative to wine would be to flambe with some great Pastis. If you never tried it, give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks dude..I, with no knowledge and info at the time bought myself 2 large squids, and after I was done preparing it I had only enough to serve 1! I'm gonna take your skills and make it mine and show off like pro😆
One of the best on here but still needs a few tweeks. trim the bottom of the head and top if its to thin. Cut up the head where the spine was and criss-cross like you did. then wash in cold water and dry. then wash squid in oil and drop a small bit into the pan. This just makes it less oily and allows it to cook abit more in its own juices as for the washing and trimming when you feel it will feel slimy and the top and bottom can feel different from the rest and cooks and tastes different, you want it to feel like velvet in your hands and feel the same thickness all over for the best tastes.
I'll be sure to link to this video for any of our subscribers who want a good tutorial on cleaning squid before making Paccheri allo Scoglio (ruclips.net/video/452fuUBjAAg/видео.html)!
Thanks Samara,i guess the music is a little chilled out,as im getting older i must be mellowing a little,thanks for the comment,and keep rocking the stove.cheers.
Fantastic music,not what I think of when I am cooking ( usually it's quite aggressive,lol! Bur heck I am a "professional" female cook at 40 and I love it :) I am just like GTC 1958 I eat what he eats, Thanks for the experience Samara
Hi r van,when you cook that concertina cut one,it folds up all cool in to a half moon fan shape i may have to do another video,so keep a look out dude,many thanks mate.Scott
Great cooking and great music, especially Christopher Cross. However I really like leaving on the long tentacles and using the two "wings" removed from the tube as well for eating. Other than these two minor things, looks like you served up a great low fat calimari dish. Thanks for sharing and if you ever need someone to help you consume some of your delicious squid dishes I volunteer. :-)
Thanks for posting!!!! Great video I now know where to start!!! Question how do you tell if the Squid is good or not; and is there any kind to avoid???????????? Great Music TOO!!!!!!!!!!!Will check out all your cooking videos.
Many thanks Duane,a fresh squid will have bright eyes and will have a very vivid colour usually pinky red,which slowly fades the older it gets,also it should smell fresh,not of fish but of the sea.,you can eat all squid,just prepare it like this,please check out my newer videos,i have new squid and octopus videos,all filmed in HD and close up but this time with commentary,i love the music but unfortunately you tube don't like me using it,thanks for your great comment mate,and please do check out my other vids,better still subscribe then you wont miss out as i release 2 a week,all the best mate.Scott
I done this today my squid was a good deal larger than those those, the wings didnt come off easy at all, i deep fried it in a coating of flour and cornflour for 30 seconds max and it still came out very tough and chewy
This video is exactly what I needed, short, concise and with good visual representation of the instructions, well done
Me too. Thank you.

This video is top of explanations!! Now I know how to prepare with my eyes closed.
Great work Scott.
Finally got around to watching this one..my, my, our friend Scott has certainly come a long ways in the past 7 years. Hope for seven more, amigo!

Thanks Scott for posting this. It's always nice to have a reminder of "HOW TO" Clean the Squid etc.
No problem mate,cheers.Scott

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed watching you cook this squid. I am going to go and cook mine now the same way,

Awesome! Thanks for making this video and for sharing. I love calamari like crazy, thanks for showing how to do it right. Kudos!
I keep the ink sac from being damaged and love to cook the squid in its own ink. Delicious!
Hold up
@@shrichandchimnani3658 squid ink is commonly used. It smells horrible but can add extra flavour to a dish
Mmmmmmm ate loads of these tonight fried in garlic and soy sauce.......delicious! My whole family were retching just at the sight of the tentacles but I love them x
if only all youtube was like this. no bullshit and straight to the point. well played my son that is probably older and wiser than i am. magnifico.
Great video, thank you so much for sharing!
My shoes feel so comfortable now:’)
If I manage to catch any this weekend.. I'll certainly be using your video for reference. Great soundtrack, too. Goes perfectly with these kinds of videos.
Thank you very much for this video. I was so scare to try to cook squid! Now I feel ready!

Cool. I'm going spearfishing this summer here in Victoria, Australia and I'll be eating more squid. Thinking of squid marinara.
Many thanks!

Squid are invertebrates, they dont have spines
Thank you Scott! That was simple enough - I liked the bit about free shoe sole material! Lol
I bet you didn’t even cook a squid
Cheers dude, much appreciated mate, many thanks bro.

Thanks man, this video helps me a lot. Great job. Tell me, why is important to cut off 2 largest (longest) tentacles?
Because thats the penis

Thank you! this helps a lot, I love seafood. I could live well without meat but i couldn't be without seafood everything is so delicious.
Thanks for that, really helpful.......cheers
Wow. I didn't know that you have to skin the squid. I also know now how to cut it into rings! Thanks!
you don't have to, but you can. Some people like it, some don't
I've never eaten calamari and I really want to try some. I might try cooking it myself, thanks.
its really hard like rubber in my Chinese buffet 😂
Awesome video. How did U cook the first one you cut
Very nice video

Awesome thanks...
Hey, @ScottRea How about an updated version of this? Love your new video's and would like to see this updated!
nicely done everything
Thanks for the recipe
THANK YOU CHEF!!
Thank you for this video!
How do you store the squid after catching it? Can you freeze it?
I buy frozen squid in the market. It probably won’t taste as good but at least you can keep longer if you can’t eat all at once.
This looks fun.
very helpful thank you
Great vid. Any advice on cooking with the ink?
Great, thanks
