In my small little tiny town, I had to ask the butcher whether he had any squid? He said he had some frozen in the back. You might want to inquire with the butcher if you don’t see it in the “public eye.” My Safeway doesn’t sell it in the public eye but the butcher sure knows where it’s hidden. ;)

Me too. I have some salted squid in the fridge waiting to come out on 2/20/11. Getting so excited. Doesn’t smell or anything in the fridge and it has a beautiful color. Safeway had the frozen squid in the butcher shop freezer (not in the public eye). I happened to inquire at the meat counter and was pleasantly surprised the butcher had it.

Just joined today, 1/23/11, Sunday, and found your website last Saturday. I have some salted squid in the refrigerator waiting the month (like your video states), can’t wait to make the sauce for it…only 28 more days to go… :)

I didn’t understand from the post whether you have to prepare after the 1 month has passed or you can consume some and leave the rest in the fridge? If so how long can you safely keep it in the fridge?

I bought it in Chinatown. You can get it from any fish market.

does the squid have to be from a korean store or could I get it from a fish market?
