Raw Squid: “Itlugan” / “with eggs” for dinner
I chanced upon some super fresh raw squid in Marikina Market around 5pm last night. These squid were “itlugan” / “with eggs”, not easy to find and you really have to pick them. Pick the lumpy ones and take a peak if they have eggs. Pick the squid yourself or the market vendor will be “fair” and give you some with eggs and some with no eggs.
My announcement at dinner came with a WOW from the 2 younger kids who forgot about their cooked dinner. Good timing. They had their fill of raw squid with the raw eggs and raw fat inside. They liked tentacles too.
They aren’t into eating the ink yet so the head and the ink were moved to the refrigerator with the batch to be cooked for the kids’ lunch pack the next day.
It was mission accomplished this evening. A raw dinner for the kids.
