What is Squid?

The squid is a sea creature in the cephalopod class. This means that it has a large head, tentacles and other specific characteristics. The squid ranges from small to extremely large, with the average size of one used for food being on the smaller side. The squid has a soft and rubbery body. Often the tentacles are used and are cut into white rings. Squid can be cooked many ways, but often it is deep fried giving it a crispy outside and softer and juicy inside. Frying turns the squid a golden brown color. The flavor is mildly sweet and salty.
