Simmered colossal squid with giant white radish

You might have read that some lucky scientists have chanced apon a frozen colossal squid weighing 500kg.  While they struggle with the process of defrosting the thing without letting it rot, I thought I would scale up a standard simmered squid with giant white radish recipe for them to use when thay are finished with it.

500kg raw squid

250kg of giant white radish

1 bucket full of yuzu rind

1 bathtub full of water

4 buckets full of sake

1 small shovel full of sugar

 1 large shovel of soy sauce.

Clean, dry and cut up (with a big knife) the squid

Peel and cut up the radish

Simmer the water, radish, sake and sugar for about half an hour in a box trailer over a low fire

Drop in the squid and simmer for the rest of the day with a sheet of ply wood over the top as a drop lid

Line up a crowd and serve over giant bowls of rice.

Seriously though, I hope they make some interesting discoveries about the squid so that such a beautiful massive creature didn’t die without reason.
