Cuttlefish

Got a big cuttlefish from the fishmonger, enough for 3 meals. The cleaning is the same as squid, the taste is similar, but being thicker, cuttlefish has more texture to enjoy.

Pull legs out of body, cut away jaw, eyes and organs. Remove backbone and skin from the body, score the outside with crisscross pattern for it to cook faster.
