Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to high.

2. Rinse and trim the cuttlefish body making sure to get rid of any messy or dirty edges.

3. Cut the cuttlefish body open so that it lies flat. Place the cuttlefish body flesh side up on your cutting board.

4. Hold your knife at a slight angle and score the cuttlefish flesh half way through to the skin in 1/2-inch strips at a 45-degree angle to the edge of the cuttlefish piece. Repeat until the whole piece has been scored.

5. Turn the piece of cuttlefish 90 degrees and repeat step 4 in a pattern perpendicular to your first cuts until the whole piece is scored in a honeycomb pattern. This scoring will help the heat penetrate the flesh and cook the cuttlefish more evenly.

6. Slice the scored body piece into chunks approximately 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches.

7. Cut the tentacles into 3-inch lengths.

8. Place all of the cuttlefish pieces into a bowl and gently toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.

9. Place each piece of cuttlefish onto your preheated grill.

10. Flip your cuttlefish after 45 seconds. The cuttlefish is fully cooked when the flesh becomes opaque, which should take 1 to 2 minutes.

11. Serve immediately.
