    Most people only eat fried calamari. I prefer my squid sautéed in a nice Fra Diavolo sauce over angel hair.

    There is a lot we don’t know about giant squid, but we do know that Sperm Whales find them very tasty.

    They usually reside in the deeper parts of the ocean. However, a few times a year they do come to the surface in mass for some natural reason. They actually are very dangerous if you are in the water. They have razor like teeth all around and will charge you head on. I don’t care for them at all and will get out of the water if a boat is near. In the gulf off Baja near Santa Rosalia on certain nights they are attracted by the Mexican pangas with lanterns and will come to the surface in the thousands. The Mexicans haul them on board these little boats and bring them to a canning factory in the town. Bad fellas.

    Waterfield, I think you’re thinking of the Humbolt squid. Yes, they are dangerous, but they are only 4 or 5 feet long. This is either a Giant squid or Colossal squid.
    Giant squids and Colossal squids spend all of their time in the depths. They are usually only seen on the surface when they are sick and dying.
