tip from the chef

To honeycomb squid, make a single cut down the length of the tube and open out flat with inside facing up. Using a sharp knife, cut parallel lines down the length of the squid, taking care not to cut right through the flesh. Then make more cuts in the opposite direction to from a diamond pattern.
