    I thought on the show that Gary poached the squid for a few seconds in boiling water unless this is a different recipe. Also would like to know if you score the inside or outside of the squid or does this matter.

      He put the squid in boiling water where he added a little vinegar then he dried it with paper towels before frying . He also scored the squid first.

    I just made this after watching it on Foxtel. It is YUMMO. Great dish that wont leave you feeling heavy and sluggish. Heaps of wonderful fresh flavours that linger after that last bite. Definately be making this again.
