Squid is m By Ihe Associated Press NEW YORK ? Squid McNuggets may be a long way off, but the ugly little mollusks are finding their wav onto the dinner plates of more and more Americans, alongside escargot and sushi, in these days of culinary adventures. "Back in the late '70s you couldn't give squid away," says Bill Carroll, a squid pusher. "Now, a lot of restaurants have it on their menu. But most are calling it calamari (the Italian word for squid), because when you say squid, people have a vision of Captain Nemo being dragged down into the deep by a monster shooting ink." Carroll can relate to people trying to get their friends to eat snails or raw fish for the first time. As executive director of the Bi-State Seafood Development Conference, a New York-based trade organization, one of his missions is to whet the public's appetite for squid. He gets a lot of wary stares. Although squid has been widely eaten throughout the world, in the United States it was regarded mainly as fish bait. However, because of the growing popularity of ethnic and specialty foods, squid is becoming more accented; and a thriving U.S. industry has grown from scratch over the past decade. And unlike many other speciality Alliances. Con which is our goal, that's one-tenth of the USC population," Brown said. When the groups reach their projected goal of signatures, they intend to present it to the university. About 500 people attended the rally. "This is a sliohtlv lower turnout than last year," said John Coulter, rally coordinator. "However, 1 am very pleased with the reactions we've received this time," Coulter said. Coulter claims there is now a lot more campus support than ever. "Last year 1 felt it was more of a 'fun' thing; people preached and introduced issues while the audience listened for a while and then moved on. "This year people really stayed and were seriously interested. The ATDS Continued from the spread of AIDS.

Squid has long been harvested in U.S. waters, but mostly by foreign fishing fleets from Asia and the Mediterranean. However, when the U.S. extended its coastal boundaries to 200 miles in 1977, most foreign fishing fleets were banned from the rich U.S. waters; and suddenly squid tnp 'in lint annpH r^cnnrc/* "Mackerel, dogfish, monkfish, butterfish and squid were all specics we found were under-utilized," Carroll said. "Wc determined squid had the greatest potential, because there was a ready foreign market waiting. But we knew the domestic market would be a tough nut to crack, because it's IIWI a iiauiuuuai A\IIKI itun IUUU. Seminars and demonstrations were given to teach American fishermen how to catch the little, white, tubelike mollusk. (Only small squid are eaten). Once U.S. fishermen knew how to harvest it, joint ventures with foreign processors were set up; and now a domestic processing industry has emerged. Richard Lord, information officer for the Fulton Fish Market in Manhattan, has watched the trend from its infancy. Lord, who Rives cooking demonstrations to promote various seafoods, also knows about those wary stares. "I was cooking squid at a tinued from page 1 issues now hit closer to home to a tighter crowd; it was a communion of like-thinking people," Coulter said. The groups also could have faced possible opposition, as rumors floated that Ku Klux Klan members might try to disrupt the rally. Several members of the groups said they heard the KKK had applied for a city permit to come on their Friday offcampus picket grounds but did not meet the permit deadline date. Present at the rally, though, was one opposition leader, business senior Janice Kraft, who was wearing and selling T-shirts that supported Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, which said, "I would go to hell and back with Ollie." Kraft, president of Students for America, said her plan is not to support divestment from South Africa, page 1 _ to control the spread of it. But Sy also believes the education needs to be tailored to different croups.

Lord recalls. "She was shocked when I said it was squid. She said her husband cave it to her without telling her what it was. She liked it. People are discovering it, and it's starting to get into the mainstream, at least in the New York area." Lord credits the popularity of Chinese and Italian food with much of the rise in squid sales, because people order it in restaurants and then want to try serving it at home. One of the most popular ways to prepare squid is to cut the tube-like mantle, or bodv Dortion. into rincs. The rings are then dipped in a batter or rolled in bread crumbs and fried. Squid also is frequently steamed and served cold in salads. Anthony Grippa, co-owner of the North American Lobster Company and B-G Lobster and Shrimp Corp., which are based in New Jersey and New York respectively, is one seafood wholesaler who has benefited from the squid's growing popularity. Grippa estimates he will sell 3.5 millions pounds of squid this year in the United States, compared with 2 million pounds this past year and less than 100,000 pounds in 1979. ??! ?. i ?11: ?n.. r~ ii uttii dining Mimig IUI the last eight years," Grippa says. but for peaceful change. "Divestment either won't have any effect as major corporations won't pull out or will have a negative effect on blacks to lose jobs as South African companies will only take over," Kraft said. The groups picket every Friday at noon on the corner of Sumter and Pendleton streets to protest USC's holdings in South Africa. Brown said they plan to continue "until the university divests."
