    I was very intimidated about cleaning my own squid. This video made it look so easy I thought there was no way it could be true. But it was! Squid cleaned perfectly, no ink disasters, and my paella was fabulous! Thanks!

    Excellent instructional video. One of the best I've seen on the web. Just the right amount of description and demonstration, just the right cadence.
