Catch of the day squid and mantis shrimp

[Kaz]

with the full moon and a good incoming tide I decided to grab my net and light and head down to the dock to see if any squid were around. I only caught about 8 squid before the tide quit. I did however catch some mantis shrimp. I can't wait to try eating them for the first time.

Mmmm. Calamari...you make sauce or deep fry?

[Kaz]

I like em both ways

How squid became calamari, and how Galilee, Rhode Island became the squid capital of the world. It was not that long ago that calamari was all but unheard of as a seafood delicacy. Not any more:

The port of Galilee, RI, squid capital of the world....

How did the Mantisi taste?

Going to have them tonight. Tried to catch more last night but there was no signs of life. Windy and cold so I didn't stay too late. My friend was down there after I went home and he had no luck either.

I love Mantis Shrimp (really popular here in Hong Kong), but they can have a bit of an ammonia taste for some people. How did they turn out?

[Kaz]

I split the top shell and cleaned them first and then just steamed. The taste was great, no ammonia. They were difficult to eat however. I had to pick the meat from the shell, you couldn't just peal like a regular shrimp.

Very nice I love that calamari

Just saw this post! Makes me hungry. Dad stationed Japan when was little, and when came back USA, kept asking for ika and tako. Now know where the ika are (in your NY net!); don’t suppose net tako there, too? I don’t imagine squid and octopus swimming together, but maybe they do....
