Cory,

 

Pretty normal looking set of hands if you ask me. What's she holding?

That's the beak of a rather large squid. You wouldn't want your fingers too close to it if the critter was alive. I have no idea if the mollusc in the picture is alive or not.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

If that's the giant or the colossal squid, the flesh is inedible :(

"It's edible, but the texture and smell� [the flesh] contains ammonia (resembling urine), so it's nearly the same taste as giant squid, but it's much more muscular - tougher. It tastes very bitter. Not so good for humans, but sperm whales like the taste very much." said squid specialist Tsunemi Kubodera of Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science.

 

Yum! :lol:

 

I bet the Icelanders would eat it, after a suitable time fermenting! :yucky:

If you mean the Humbolt Squid (Dosidicus gigas) AKA as jumbo squid, jumbo flying squid, pota or diablo rojo then they are indeed edible. Mexico has an industry based on fishing for this species.

Nope, I meant the Giant Squid (taxonomy not yet figured out) or the Colossal Squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). The Humbolt Squid is a titchy little thing in comparison. Vicious little bugger though :blink:
