Why do squids smell?
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Squid is a fairly inexpensive and very healthy product that is great for salads and hot dishes. Usually, for any recipe, squid needs to be thawed and cooked in this form - the way to boil squid extremely simple, technology disruption is unlikely even if you are a beginner. But this is where an incident can happen - boiled squids can smell unpleasantly of ammonia or ammonia. Ammonia is a cheap way to extend the shelf life of squid on an industrial scale. Also, the ammonia smell manifests itself if the squid were grown in an environmentally unfriendly place, and technological processes are violated during processing. In any case, there may be too much ammonia and such a product should never be eaten. As a quick way to steer the situation: buy a can of canned squid instead of questionable seafood.
