What is recognize them? In this period the cuttlefish are breeding, the females then have ovaries filled with eggs, the ovaries of cuttlefish have a huge economic value, and are the most delicious of the squid: it is appropriate to recognize the female for more attention during cleaning.

At this point the sepia opens gently to remove the black bag (good to use for pasta or risotto), giblets and any ovaries (to enjoy pan-fried, perfect for pasta).
The body of the cuttlefish be etched to remove the intestines (brown) and the squid is now ready for the grill, and then it should be washed under the ' fresh water, or to be cut into pieces for other preparations, at this point it must be washed.
whole process seems easy, but really inexperienced hand will fit inside the cuttlefish bone, probably by breaking the bag of black and creating a sdisastro in the kitchen: the help of the beginner is the freezer, enough to reach a level of half freezing outside but the insides will be thawed, the bag of black, the ovaries are frozen in the kitchen and there will be no mess!
Hilde has therefore prepared an excellent dish : Fry garlic and rosemary,
