Nutritional values

While squid belongs to the mollusk family, it contains just as much protein as fish. Squid is an excellent source of a variety of vitamins and minerals including potassium, iron and vitamin B-12.

Cleaning and preparing fresh squid takes time. If you're in a rush, try using frozen squid instead.
