It is not advisable to buy white and very attractive-looking fillets. As a rule, it is prepared in China. During the process of factory cutting, the mollusk goes through not only excessive thawing, but also treatment with chemical compounds that give the squid White color and significantly increasing its weight.

In any version (for any salad), the squid must be doused with boiling water and the skin removed; if it is a carcass, then the cartilage must be removed.
Cook the squid in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, no more, otherwise it will become tough.
