How to remove squid ink before processing.
Removing squid ink before processing is an important step to avoid the bitter taste that can occur if the ink is not removed properly. Here are several ways to remove squid ink before processing:
1. Separate the ink from the squid.
If your squid has a separate ink sac, carefully separate the ink sac from the squid's body. Usually, the ink sac is located inside the squid's body close to the digestive organs.
2. Rinse with clean water.
Rinse the squid body under clean water to remove any ink residue stuck to its surface. Make sure to clean the squid thoroughly, including inside the body cavity.
3. Use salt water.
Soak the squid in salt water for a few minutes. Mix in salt water with a high enough concentration to help dissolve and remove any remaining ink.
4. Use salt water.
Another alternative is to soak the squid in salted water for a few minutes. Salt water can also help remove the ink that remains in the squid's body.
5. Use lime juice or vinegar.
Soak the squid in a solution of lime juice or vinegar for a few minutes. The acid from lime or vinegar can help dissolve any remaining ink and remove it from the squid's body.
After you remove the ink from the squid, it is ready to be processed according to the desired recipe. Be sure to store and process squid carefully to avoid unwanted cilia contamination.
