Additional Calamari tips:
Thanks to Mr. Angelo D’Onofrio from Bloomfield, NJ for sending in this tip:
"Just want to pass a hint when making stuffed calamari. After they have been cleaned, if you can then turn them inside out, then you can stuff them and you won’t need to either sew or use toothpicks as the calamari will close if you saute them a couple of minutes."
