I'm not sure whether the squid I had in The Gambia (Western Coast of Africa) was a giant squid or not, but the peices I had would indicate the squid was huge. The one individual suction cup was about the diameter of a U.S. quarter (coin). The thickness of a one inch square peice of the main body was 3/8" thick. The resort I stayed at right on the Atlantic Ocean consistently offered every night this variety of squid at its poolside buffet. As for the taste? It was very similar to the best squid I've ever had before. It was mild and sweet, not rubbery. The texture was smooth and when you bit into it, it had a crispness about it, like eating into an apple. This was the same whether BBQ'd or sauteed. At first I was reluctant to try it because it was bigger than any squid or octupus meat I've ever had and I was concerned about it having an overwhelming taste or tasting fishy. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally had some. R.Brant, Canada
