A waste is letting the deckhands clean your catch,regardless if it's squid or fish.They clean everything the quick and easy way.Alot of asian people are less wasteful.We eat almost the entire squid except the guts.The limit is 35 per head .You shouldn't get all preachy about people catching their limits.Just because you are too lazy to clean your own catch.Remember,these squid only come around every few years.That's what freezers are for.You can also dry them.
