they look like these, except they are 1 inch thick or even thicker! they taste like squids except harder and chewier but given that size, it got to be hell of a squid, cant be. anyone know what is that exactly?

Buy the squid, wash the filets with fresh water, then wash with SODAWATER to get rid of the smell.

With a sharp knife make incisions to help the squid getting softer

Marinate with garlic powder, pepper, salt, some paprika powder, and if you like Chinese 5 spices powder in a little vinager and soy sauce.

Leave the marinated filets in the fridge for the night.

Fry and cut in small pieces to eat.

Delicious!

Humboldt squid I caught near Santa Rosalia, Baja California, Mexico around 1987. I had no luck cooking these things until a friend gave me a recipe for squid patties:

squid

salt

pepper

some onion

flour, enough to bind it together

your favorite spices

Blend it all up and fry like pancakes.
