How to remove squid skin? It only takes three minutes!

If you buy the freshest squid in the market, you need to spend some time to prepare it. After all, squid comes from the deep sea, so it needs to be carefully processed. Otherwise, it will not only affect its delicious taste, but also easily bring harm to the body. What is the easiest way to remove squid skin?

1. Remove the black skin of the squid.

There is a layer of black skin on the surface of the squid, which is the protective film of the squid. It is toxic and will affect the quality of the finished dish, so it is recommended that you remove it. In fact, many people eat squid with the skin, and there are no adverse reactions, but the dish is not good-looking.

However, squid skin is difficult to peel. Here is a practical and ingenious method that allows you to easily peel squid skin in three minutes: Soak the squid in water with 100 grams of white vinegar for three minutes, then take a container, add more clean water, and put the squid in it. Use a knife to cut two cuts on the back of the fish, pinch the triangular head of the squid with your hands and pull it down, so that the skin on the back of the squid can be pulled off. Finally, peel off the skin of other parts of the squid, and that's it.

2. Pull off the squid's head.

In fact, this step can be completed at the same time as the skinning process. When skinning the squid, the squid's head is pulled off casually, and the internal organs will be pulled out at the same time. When pulling the head, if the neck part is attached to the body, just pinch it off with your fingers.

3. Clean the squid's head.

Cleaning the squid's head is rather troublesome, but the most important thing is to remove the eyes, because there is a lot of ink in the eyes. If it is not removed, the dish will be black.

First, there are small round "plastic rings" on the small suction cups of the squid's tentacles. You need to remove these "plastic rings" from the tentacles one by one. After cleaning the tentacles, you need to cut the mouth and squeeze out the eyes. This is the most disgusting step. Carefully cut open the squid's head, and then remove the squid's mouth and two eyeballs.

Reminder: Be careful when removing the squid's eyes, because the eyes contain a large amount of ink that can easily spray out and stain your clothes. This can be avoided by operating in water.

4. Clean the squid's body.

The squid's body is easy to clean. There is a long "plastic piece" on its back, which is the squid's cartilage. It is easy to find and can be pulled out. Then use scissors to cut open the squid's belly, which becomes a large piece, and it is clean after rinsing.

5. Cut the squid.

This step is easy to do. Cut the tentacles into segments, the head into pieces, and the body into flower cuts or strips. At this point, the whole squid is cleaned! Finally, I need to explain one thing to everyone. Many people have heard that the ink bag of squid cannot be eaten, but they don’t know where the ink bag is and how to remove it, which is very confusing. In fact, the ink bag of the squid is together with the internal organs. When the internal organs are pulled out, the ink bag is taken out, and there is no need to deal with it separately.
