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

which is our goal, that's one-tenth of

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

foods, squid is cheap and plentiful,
as well as nutritious.
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

"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

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

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,

to control the spread of it.
But Sy also believes the education
needs to be tailored to different
croups. He said because morals arc

country, educators need to talk to the

demonstration in Milford, Conn.,
and a woman came up and asked me,
'Is this shrimp?'" 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.

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."
They also have events scheduled
for November. The Sanctuary Group
