Indeed. When I've deep fried it, I timed it for 2 minutes too. That's
all it takes to get it perfectly done and tender! ;-d I love deep fried
squid.

That's why I like the big ones! They come in packages of 2 at the asian
market. Cleaning just 2 giant squid is far less trouble than cleaning a
package of the smaller ones. I can also get packages of pre-cleaned
ones at the asian market if I want to pay a little more.
