keeping squid
just a small tip that i've learnt from jeryl and from watching eging dvds. if you plan on keeping squid for a feed or even as dead bait then take along some large ziplock bags. by placing dead squid in there you can easily seal it up and store it in your esky/cooler bag and not have to worry about the ink and slime getting over everything.
Storing Squid
G`Day Andy ,
Have you tried a brain spike on squid , it works great on fish , puts all the blood into head & gut , flesh is cleaner & keep`s longer ?

Re: keeping squid
Fresh is best naturally! I eat mine the same day or next night. I hate freezing squid or fish, IMO you go out catch some and eat it, then if you want some more you go and do it again, it's all part of the game! If I get hungry for fish in between I eat steak or chicken

Re: keeping squid
From past experiences in catching lots of squid offshore you can freeze them but they aren't as good as if you catch an eat them with in 48 hours, if you do freeze them be careful because they freeze burn easy so keep them uncleaned if you decide to freeze them you can only freeze them for about 3 months then they start to freeqe burn. Hope you find this advice helpful

Re: keeping squid
Fine in the fridge for around 3 days, there is nothing wrong with freezing squid.
I clean mine and then freeze the tubes individually in freezer bags, never have a problem with freezer burn. I have kept them frozen for up to 6 months and the eating quality is still excellent. I actually think the freezing process can improve the eating quality as they seem to be more tender after being frozen and the flavour doesn't change at all.
Cheers,
Al
