How To Prep Squid | Jamie’s Comfort Food | Pete Begg

hi I’m Pete from Jamie’s food team and
today I’m going to show you how to prep
squid for salt and pepper squid in
Jamie’s new comfort food book okay
squared at the top has got a couple of
little wings here which are fine to eat
great and things like soups as Jews
further dyeing there’s a squids head
it’s got his eyes and it’s got his
tentacles here can you see these little
tentacles and he’s got two long ones and
right in the middle there’s a beak
little squid beak will you cut that off
because it’s actually a lip tough to eat
first thing I’m gonna do scrape the
squid head and just pull it with a sharp
knife I’m going to cut under the eyes so
there’s the tentacles I push the beaker
in the middle tentacles where is he go
in here there’s a whole lot of other
stuff that poke your fingers up inside
here comes a quill so it looks like it’s
made of plastic you can see why it’s
called a quill because it looks like one
of those old-fashioned pens people used
to write with now I’m gonna take the
back of a knife squeeze all the other
stuff out and pinch the wings like that
and just pull them away from the body
and it takes on the skin with it you see
there we go
next step is to open it out push up
inside that comes on and this is the
inside the squid head a small eating
knife and this is just sharp enough to
do the job I needed to do I just dragged
it across the surface you see it’s not
cut it’s just scored and that’s all we
want to do I’ll turn a squid around and
do the same in the other direction so we
get a nice cross a faint and then
there’s your squid body called scored
and ready to go
