Published September 23rd, 2006 in Rice Meals and Seafood. 2 Comments

Calamari is quite cheap and easy to get in Korea. You can get 4 medium size squids for about 3500 won (US $ 3.60) at a super market . But the thing is, sometimes they clean the squid for you, but most of the time, you need to clean it yourself at home. (Cleaning means taking out the organs, bone, and peeling off the skin) Here are great instructions on how to clean and cut squid.
