Hardly a byecatch Duncan. I get the impression that I am not the only one in this club who's fishing is mainly made up of these hard fighting species. Tom Quote

How did the engine go? and tell the missus the pennant really looks good Charlie Didn't know where to reply to this, so I'll keep it here . 1. It's in the marinade and I've checked the gas for the barbie. 2. B@st@*d still leakin' so my simple assumption was duff . I'll have to clean her up and give her a run with me in the engine compartment 3. Mi darlin' thanks ya'all for the kind words..... machine in fa service, and herself has just touched me fa many squids to exchange for material and thread.

Wedger Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 Well just for the unofficial Cephalopod records I bagged a 3lb 8.5oz cuttle as well. Too darn much for a feed and a bit tough so have frozen to convert into 20lb cod next winter T Quote
Newboy Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 The reminds me I gotta do that write upon how to prepare a cuttle and cook it so it isn't tough. Quote
Wedger Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 No probs with tough in small Cephs. Blanch 30 secs Wok or Barbie 40-50 secs. Photo of my supper to follow in a mo Sqid'u'like on mi menu Quote
Newboy Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I was thinking of eating it raw sushi style. Quote
Wedger Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) No probs Kam but with respect I would do that on the boat or dockside for freshness. Other Edited June 12, 2006 by Wedger Quote
TomBettle Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I gotta say that looks FANTASTIC! Made my mouth water just readig the recipe. Quote
charlieannear Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Wow! When are you opening your posh seafood restaurant?! Hungry now Quote
jack Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Kam,you said earlier in this thread that you would produce a recipe for TENDER squid,,I see also that you claim your miniature Rock as at least a specimin,Its only average for our boat,but you failed to say if you could produce a recipe to tenderise these darned things.. jack Quote
Newboy Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Jack, there's no need to anything to the squid they are fairly soft as it is, just don't over cook it. I once said I'd do some photos on how to clean and cut a cuttle as well as a few way of cooking (eating) it so that it won't be tough. Quote
Wedger Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Hi Kam, I very much love Cephs , so any tips on prep & finale would be seriously appreciated . thanks Chap T Quote
Wedger Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Praps we should move this to 'recipes' before 'Mave' get eggie....... Seriously, I could do with further tips on Cephs as I am a fan when it goes well... T Quote
