i live near the ocean so local walmart carries squid i get a large pack for $2.11. i buy four packs.

 

[okley70]

thaw them out in hot water. lay squid on cutting board or i use a rubbemaid lid.

 

[okley70]

cut tentacles from squid head and place in (good meat pile). place squid head in (bad meat pile).

 

[okley70]

remove guts and plastic spine and place in (bad meat pile). so all that is left is good meat.

 

[okley70]

cut chunk of meat down the center then into 1''x1'' squares. place in (good meat pile).

 

[okley70]

when all squid is cut place in ice cube trays. fill the cubes to the top. freeze over night.

 

[okley70]

crack cubes into a large ziplock freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. then you are done. yearly money spent 25-30 bucks
needed supplies cutting board and a sharp knife.
keep in mind this takes about an hour to do and it stinks.but the fish will love it. just put a couple cubes in a cup with little water to thaw. then drop into the tank.

cool idea man .. the thing is, i work in a restraunt and i learned that thawing meats out in hot water creates made bacteria which cannot be servered and it happened before we had to throw out 150 dollers worth of wings. cold water is the way to go. good job either way though!!

What's wrong with the guts and tenticles? Cut the whole thing up and do what you did. You should feed your p's more than just squid. Great idea though. Freezing them will kill of all the bacteria, or just about all of it. Guts are good for p's.

 

[mrodge]

sounds pretty sick

 

[okley70]

you will find that squid guts are not good for your fish beacuse all it is is poop and really runny white stuff. plus you have to remove the head because the squid ink is in the neck and thats really messy. you dont want that in your tank. plus i breed mice they get mice twice a week. pinkies. i also do the same thing with earthworms that i do with the squid. and rosy reds every once in a while.

nice, instead of using icecube trays, you can just put it on foil and freeze it, it will come right off.

 

[okley70]

the reason for the trays is for limited space in the freezer.
