Step 2
Boil water in a kettle or saucepan, rinse the squid and place them in a deep container. Pour boiling water over them. When the boiling water comes into contact with the skin, the colored film will begin to peel off.

Step 3
Rinse the squid bodies, scrape off any remaining skin, cut them in half, remove the cartilage (chorde) and rinse again. Place the squid into a deep container, pour in soy sauce, add salt, ground black and red pepper. Slice half a lemon into pieces and add to the container. Gently mix the contents with slight pressure. If time allows, let it marinate for 30–40 minutes.

Place the marinated squid on the preheated electric grill, remembering to grease the grill plates with oil beforehand. Sear until golden brown for about 3 minutes. At first, the flesh will release juice, then it will start to cook through.
