its safe but the roblem is that its not very clean cosidering the fact that squid is very bloody and contains a lot of guts and ink it would probrabliy give you a no2 spike unless u clean a rinse it. the best way would prob be to gut it and only feed the fleshy parts imo

thats what i was going to do. cut the top off, gut it, cut off tentacles, throw away the rest, and wash it.

I would not use that. Go to your local supermarket and buy un cooked sea food, its pretty cheap. I use mostly shrimp.

Agreed - you can find something food-quality at a local asian grocery.
