|  Large squid caught near Puget Sound REMERTON, Wash. - At first, Richard Prine thought it was either a giant pair of pants or enough crab bait to last for years. ''It turned out to be a 7.50-foot squid,'' Prine said. ''I didn't know anything like that existed around here.'' The 85-pound squid washed up July 7 on Prine's beach near Lofall on Puget Sound. It apparently had only recently died, since only its tentacles had been nibbled at by other marine life. Prine realized scientists could probably use the find for something better than bait, so he called Suquamish Tribe fisheries biologist Paul Dorn. On his instruction, Prine loaded the cephalopod into his minivan, and he and Dorn packed it in formaldehyde in a 32-gallon bucket. The squid is now at the University of Washington School of Aquatics and Fisheries Sciences, where collections manager Katherine Pearson said it should be valuable for research. ~~~~~~~ Calamari, anyone???

| Yes -Guido's calamari is yummy! The last time I had some was at an excellent Italian restaurant in Sioux Falls, SD last summer. Di Giovianni's in Solomons may have some but I haven't been there in a long time. |

| Mama Lucia's in Dunkirk has AWESOME calamari! (but that's probably too far for you to drive???) Their piccata is REAL good, too...I always order it with chicken instead of veal...

| I'm in the process of moving from Lusby to Callaway - I was just wondering if there were anything in the LP or Solomons area that had good calamari. I've had the Olive Garden's calamari - it's pretty good but the sauce is kind of weak - needs more herbs for flavor. But I don't get up the Waldorf that often.
