You are lucky to have fish markets that sell squid in the way shown. <br /><br />My born-in-Italy Grandfather-in-law took me to the Italian Market in Philly, where we bought "whole" squid and he showed me (16 times) how to clean it "from scratch", until I got it right on the last two times. Will never forget that cooking lesson!

They had the texture of rubber bands and I don't even recall if there was a flavor. Needless to say they were gross and they turned me off from ever trying squid again, even tho I have since been told that they were just cooked improperly. This is a pretty to look at dish tho! I might taste a bite if someone like you cooked it for me ;) Otherwise, never gonna happen.<br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132178912597355017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-74299552001885001532014-04-29T02:22:10.837-04:002014-04-29T02:22:10.837-04:00By chance, can the peppers be substituted?
