Cuttlefish are marine animals, and belong in the same class as squid, which can certainly be eaten. The word "cuttle" is referring to their unique internal shell called a cuttlebone. You would be familiar with their skeleton, as they are sold in pet stores for birds as a source of calcium (and can also be added to a freshwater fish tank if you have snails who need the calcium for their shells).
As a food source - there are many different dishes that use cuttle fish; they can be grilled, stuffed, baked, etc. In fact, their ink is harvested to use in many pastas and risotto.
If you have access to a fish market, you may want to have them do the dirty work of removing the parts you don't want, and will be very messy. The meat from the head is more of a delicacy and can be pan fried, but the tentacles are tough and best casseroled with things like garlic and wine; you can find many recipes online through a bit of searching.
