    I put some in baking soda and water at the end. Couldn't tell the difference between the two. I probably should have just straight up not marinaded some. Basically the same as chicken velveting.

    I washed and dried the squid and then salted it some to sit out a bit before I added batter. I didn't take pictures. Did the marinade do anything positive? Hard to say.

    Interesting experience. The dredge was pretty much impossible to get right for me. The calamari was turned to rubber pretty much instantly.

    First time I've prepped squid. Think I got all the bad parts out, but there's a few things that feel questionable. Cross cut the bell and will marinate it overnight. I'll hack it into bite size pieces and fry it tomorrow. Here's hoping it doesn't turn into rubber.

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    A lot of us have been there, and those that haven't will be. There brightness on the other side, especially if you step up to make it. Losing someone who's such a big part of your life isn't easy bro, so I feel for you.
