I bought it because I thought I could eat it as squid, but I gave up eating it as squid because I was worried about the smell.However, I tried using sodium bicarbonate water for reversing yakisoba. After returning, the body was soft and I was able to eat it deliciously.

Its small , buts ok

It has been a long time since I bought it, and I have never known how to eat it. Finally, I checked it online and found that it is delicious to make shredded squid in a microwave oven. Rinse the squid slices and soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, cut them into strips with scissors, microwave them for 1 minute, turn them over for another 1 minute, and you will have the original squid shreds. For heavy flavors, dip them in various sauces.
