note
Salt the water intended for cooking seafood purely symbolically - remember that salad dressing will also contain salt.
Seafood can easily be poisoned. This is due to the fact that the storage conditions of such goods were violated in a warehouse or store (for example, it was unfrozen for some reason, and then was again frozen). When buying frozen seafood, pay attention to their appearance - a qualitatively frozen and properly stored product should not be a "whole block of ice." Do not forget to check the expiration date of the goods.
Useful advice
The taste of the salad will be softer if you use white salad or red sweet onions as an ingredient. If you bought the whole carcasses of squid, then before cooking they should first be thawed, cleaned from the insides and rinse well. If you want the sea salad to be more satisfying, make a dressing of mayonnaise and lemon juice.
