Friday Squid Blogging: I Caught a Squid

Post Syndicated from B. Schneier original https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/10/friday-squid-blogging-i-caught-a-squid.html

On Wednesday I spent a day fishing, on a small boat out of Gloucester, MA. We caught many cod (none of which we could keep), and a bunch of hake and mackerel (all of which we could keep). And…I caught a squid! Near as I can tell, it’s a longfin squid, sometimes called a Boston squid (Doryteuthis (Amerigo) pealeii).

That night I cooked it over a barbecue grill—hot and fast. Delicious.
