Something else. I altered the recipe slightly by mixing 1/2 the bread, tomato, onion, spices & wine with the fish mixture. Then I stuffed the squid. Baked it covered with the other 1/2 that was processed. It turned out excellent... A big hit in our house... You should try it - it gives the stuffing more flavour... - 29 Sep 2008
This is really tasty. There is a temptation to reduce the amount of oil because it seems like a lot, but it was much more tender with the full amount of oil. - 29 Sep 2008
Good concept, but the sauce was a bit bland. Also, stuffing needs something - herbs or spices, maybe. Might use the idea of stuffed squid again, but definitely not this recipe. - 29 Sep 2008
