How Do You Remove Squid Ink?

Since we’re talking cooking, I’ll assume you’d like to remove the squid ink sac rather than a stain from your clothes.

  1. Pull the tentacles and head out of the body cavity – a silvery sac should be somewhere half along this path.
  2. Detach the ink sac carefully, paying attention not to puncture it – the easiest way would be to make a small cut underneath it and thus detach it from the squid.
  3. Step three is the crossroads depending on whether you’ve changed your mind and would like to cook with the ink or are still planning to dispose of it. If you’re in it for the culinary adventure of option one, then check out how to cook with squid ink below!
