Funny!

I only like calamari deep fried. Squid or calamari prepared any other way doesn’t sound appetizing to me.

But open to suggestions.....

I have never liked it or tried to cook it. I've eaten it in restaurants where it's like chewing on a rubber band (not high-end restaurants where they may know how to do it right.)

It seems to be one of those things that demand expert cooking - too much or too little heat and time, and it's ruined.

From that link:

Squid must be cooked for either a very short time or a very long time. Anything in between turns it very rubbery. Two minutes over high heat is plenty. Beyond that will require at least 30 minutes to an hour to re-tenderize it.

I actually prefer to study that sort of critter:
