When cooking baby squid, you can either cook very fast or cook very slow. The two extremes work best cause anything in the middle can lead to a chewy and tough squid.


If you don’t know it yet, baby squids are also best when stuffed with spicy or strong-tasting filling. Many people also prefer having them because they take less preparation.


There are different ways to prepare or cook a squid depending on the region of the world. Amongst Mediterranean countries, they usually prefer it fried the same with North American countries. In countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Armenia, they prepare it with tarator sauce while some parts of Asia, you can purchase dried squid and are best as street food.
