• If you don’t salt the clams, they lose their flavor and become bland. Squids love spices, aromatic herbs, spices and their presence is only good.
• If squid is boiled in the already cut form, cooking time should be reduced to a minute. Otherwise, there is a chance to get rubber mollusks that will be difficult to chew.
