Crispy-Fried-Baby-Squid

One advantage to living in a coastal town, is the fact that our seafood is pretty damn fresh. It also means that we get some great stuff, like Calamari, Hake and prawns. V***IN PRAWNS! That means that we have quite a few local seafood joints here. And one of the specialties on the menu, is aquatic infanticide.

Or to be precise, grilled/fried baby squid. It sounds horrible in that context, but once you’ve shaken your doubts off like a British nanny shakes an infant, you’re in for a treat. Somehow, those tidbits of squid explode with flavour, and when prepared in a proper manner with lemon and butter sauces, you’ll want to eat nothing else. Which is why I’m now demanding that the ocean pay me my tribute of baby squids for supper. May the odds be ever in your favour, oh humble ocean.

In Other News: More like an Uncharted Bore, the art of Far Cry 4, Destiny has some Sparrows to race and patches galore.

Here’s the news we didn’t post today, because we were too busy playing Blitzball. Mon.

        My sister hates the sight of them. But she likes sea cockroaches… ie prawns. Doesn’t make sense.

          Yeah, that is quite strange. Cockaroachas are actually worse looking that the squiglies

    They might taste good, but I never liked the look of prawns, and squids. It’s like you are eating the leftovers from some weird Japanese fetish.

      Too little, too late and I still don’t have that promised October 2014 access via PS Plus. Don’t get me wrong, that looks stunning but they screwed me once already without the decency of a reach-around.

      Looks pretty amazing especially considering stuff like the rain droplets on the window and the road surface actually reacts to the lightning strike lighting.

      I’m impressed!

      I’d be more impressed if I got it on PS+ as promised….

        Well, now that the servers, challenges, etc… are up and running, I imagine the PS+ edition will be coming along soon. I may not wait, I think I’m just going to buy it. Definitely need something to fill the pleasure driving void that will be there until GT7 comes out.
