About Mollusks, cuttlefish, mixed species, cooked, moist heat
Cuttlefish are marine mollusks related to squid and octopus, recognizable by their broad, flattened bodies, fringed fins, eight arms, and two longer tentacles, plus the internal cuttlebone that gives them their name. Their mild, sweet, slightly briny flesh is firmer and meatier than squid and turns wonderfully tender when cooked well. Cuttlefish are lean and high in protein, supplying vitamin B12, selenium, copper, and omega-3 fatty acids for few calories.
A favorite across Mediterranean and East Asian cooking, they are grilled, quickly stir-fried, simmered into stews, sliced into salads, or braised slowly until silky, and their dark ink is used to color and flavor pasta, rice, and risotto. The key is to cook cuttlefish either very fast over high heat or long and slow, since the in-between turns it rubbery. Choose fresh cuttlefish that smell clean of the sea, and keep them well chilled, using them quickly.
