I THINK I should have more throughly dried my squid, maybe let them rest on a paper towel. After I added the bread crumbs, the whole dish got a little glopy. But it tastes good!

Congrats Mr. Bittman on "A Bone to Pick" -
We found wild squid today at our great Cutchogue fish monger and went right for this recipe - it was easy and delicious. Panko bread crumbs sauteed in a little olive oil worked well, and a bowl of quick red sauce with some Locatelli Romano and local baby arugula salad made for a perfect North Fork Spring supper. Many thanks.
