After buying squid, it needs to be preliminarily processed and seasoned to avoid going rancid, because the ambient temperature can cause the squid to spoil if not stored properly. You need to wash the ink with clean water several times, meanwhile, remove the film, gently pull the tip from the ink body and separate the discarded ink bag. Note that you should do it very carefully so that the ink bag does not break. If you accidentally break it, wash it with lots of water so that the ink is no longer black. After that, remove the slightly viscous plaque inside the squid, then gently pull the inner spine and cut the squid's belly in half. The internal organs need to be completely removed so that when eating does not get fishy. The next step is to peel off the outer skin of the squid so that the ink is white, clean and does not feel fishy when eaten.
