Katra,

I've never seen a recipe using Giant Squid on FoodTV. A search on the web
site reveals only one reference to Giant Squid.....Michael Chiarello
empahsizing NOT to use Giant Squid instead of Calamari. I assume because it
is tougher. Please don't invite me to dinner :-)

Good Luck Again,

Doug from Massachusetts
