Are you a seafood lover curious about how to clean and prepare small cuttlefish for cooking? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of cleaning small cuttlefish to make it ready for your favorite recipes. Let’s get started!

Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into the cleaning process, ensure you have the following supplies ready:

  • A cutting board
  • A sharp knife
  • Water
  • Paper towels

Step 1: Removing the Head

Hold the cuttlefish firmly and use your knife to make a gentle cut right below the eyes. Continue cutting all the way around the head until it separates from the body. Set the head aside as it is typically not used for cooking dishes such as fried cuttlefish or calamari.

Step 2: Removing the Innards and Ink Sack

Locate the cuttlefish’s ink sack, which is usually located inside the body. Carefully remove the innards and ink sac by making a small incision and gently pulling them out. Be cautious not to rupture the ink sac as it can be quite messy.

Step 3: Removing the Skin

Using your knife or your fingers, gently peel off the skin from the body. The skin should come off easily if the cuttlefish is fresh and properly prepared. Rinse the body under running water to remove any remaining skin particles.

Step 4: Cleaning the Tentacles

Take each tentacle and cut off the rounded tips, ensuring you remove any excess skin. Rinse the tentacles thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 5: Final Rinse

Place the cleaned cuttlefish body and tentacles under running water for a final rinse. Ensure there are no traces of innards, ink, or skin left.
