Hello everyone,

I guess is related to 4wding because I often use my 4wd to get to fishing places and love catching squid for both bait and camp food. Just wondering what recipies some of you out there have for them in case they appeal to me for something different. I'll start the ball rolling with my favourite (and the only way of cooking it I know!). You can use both body and wings so there is little wastage. Use the head for bait.

Clean squid of head, skin and guts (using whatever method you prefer) keeping wings in tact.
Slice body open to make one flat sheet of squid.
Tenderise using whatever, I use a tenderising mallet. The more tenderised the better. Often ends up in a gooey mess.
Cut meat into strips of about 5 x 2 cms.
Shake in plastic bag in which you have put some flour to coat the strips
coat in beaten egg, then straight into a bowl of breadcrumbs with a generous amount of your favourite seasoning. I solely use lemon pepper. Can also add stuff like chilli flakes etc.
Shallow fry in a hot frying pan/camp oven/lid. Only takes a couple of minutes, turning in between.
Drain on paper towel if you feel that way inclined.
Enjoy with tartare sauce/lemon/extra salt or just by themselves. Also good in sandwich with butter.

Looking forward to hearing a few more ways to prepare and cook.
