Squid are fascinating creatures and can be found all over the world from shallow inshore waters to the deepest depths of the oceans. They are not only a great source of delicious sustainable protein but they are high in vitamins and nutrients including B-12. I show you how to catch and how to humanely dispatch squid. Ensuring absolutely no distress and ensuring your catch is in the best possible condition.
Here are links to some of the tackle I was using in this video.

My wife is Asian and they eat squid a lot. They dry them out and then cook them slightly, and eat them like jerky. It’s great! I can’t wait to see a “Catch and cook “ show and get a recipe from Jim’s Kitchen.. I really love your channel keep it up, thanks

Nice to see a good squid session. I always remember my son's first boat trip with me and a caught a good-sized squid. The creature soaked me like a fire hose, and my son freaked. Then it proceeded to ink which freaked him out a second time. Good memories, and good advice not to bring them straight into the boat. All the best to you all.

It is a risky thing showing the dispatch on camera as there are so many trigger hungry people out there. But I felt it was important to educate people how to humanely and efficiently do the task. It is the ultimate respect for your food.

@@TheFishLocker true John. Thing is squid are probably the easiest and quickest catch to dispatch. I remember my dad showing me how too do it years ago as a kid, thinking I’d get upset but I didn’t. I’ve since shown my boys how to do it they’re 11 & 14 and neither were taken back or upset by it. The only reply I got was “is that it” I was like yes lads that it. The others two we caught they both despatched them themselves, no problem whatsoever. My dad taught me, and now I’m teaching my kids and they love it, especially the night fishing🙂👍

XLNT video, John! Locals here in Hawaii, usually eat squid/octopus one of two ways...Raw or dried. For dried cephalopods, separate the tentacles & marinate overnight. Myself, am no fisherman, only consumer so don't have any marinade recipes to share!-lol. But they're usually dried in screen dry box, approx. 7-10 days, depending on weather. Or smoked over local mesquite or acacia wood....Keep them videos coming....ALOHA from Hawaii!

My dad has a huge allotment it’s not his land he rents it off worcestershire council and come the end of summer into Autumn he starts the process of pickling some of his peppers, onions, and fruits so he can make jams etc plumbs anything he can pickle really. Just wondering if Jim does the same? Also could you do us a Sole catch and cook video if you get chance. Love Sole meat absolutely beautiful😋👍

I'll be back down soon trying other tactics with more gear ordered offline to put to use, the mackerel numbers have been thin so and it's enjoyable trying something completely different and reaping the rewards. My two cents so far, do the opposite of mackerel jigging, slow and delicate when you feel the weight on the end all the way in.

Damn those were big squid! Here on the opposite side of the Atlantic, when we jig for squid from piers, what we catch isn't much larger than your lure. They're good eating, but when you separate the body from the tentacles you're done - both are bite-sized. The problem with public pier fishing is that as soon as you pull up a squid, people will come over and drop on either side as close as they can get. I mean four at a time. I recomment fried squid. Salt, pepper and a little hot pepper flakes. High heat, quick cooking time. Add a soy dipping sauce with sesame oil, vinegar, crushed ginger root and garlic.

Yep that’s all you need with squid as it’s so tasty. I just dip my squid in a bit of flower, then fry in Cornish or Irish butter, few chopped cloves of garlic, splash of lemon juice and your done. Some folk like a splash of Worcestershire sauce on them which I’m not bothered either way, growing up a mile from the Worcestershire sauce factory in Worcester I can’t even smell the stuff now my nose is so accustomed to it😂
