Squid Three Ways

Squid’s been showing up on my meal ticket quite often lately. Besides the squid I had recently at Smith’s (delicious!), I’ve enjoyed it prepared very differently at a few other places as well. At Surf Bar, an aquatic themed restaurant where the dining room floor is covered in sand. There, it’s served in a red basket with a little dipping sauce and truly does evoke being seaside. Later in the week, I was at a friend’s house and savored them stuffed with quinoa and golden raisins. The following day, I noticed that one of the fish stands in the Union Square Greenmarket had fresh squid for sale. Having had my fill for a while, I opted not to purchase a portion, but am glad to know that if the craving hits, I’ll be able to experiment with my own.
