🧄🍋 GARLIC-BUTTER SQUID WITH LEMON & HERB RICE

Tender squid, plenty of garlic and fresh lemon—this easy dinner delivers big flavour without a long list of fancy ingredients!

Serves 4

Ingredients

Lemon and herb rice

* 1½ cups long-grain rice, rinsed
* 560 mL water
* ½ teaspoon sea salt
* Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
* 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
* ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Garlic-butter squid

* 600 g cleaned squid tubes and tentacles
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 60 g unsalted butter
* 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
* ½ teaspoon sea salt
* ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
* Lemon wedges and a simple green salad, to serve

Method

1. Place the rice, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, cover and reduce the heat to low.
2. Cook for 12 minutes without lifting the lid. Remove from the heat and stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
3. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir through the lemon zest, spring onion and parsley.
4. Meanwhile, slice the squid tubes into 1 cm rings. Leave smaller tentacles whole and halve larger ones. Pat everything thoroughly dry.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
6. Cook the squid in small batches for 1–2 minutes, turning once, until opaque and thoroughly cooked. Transfer each batch to a clean plate.
7. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds, without allowing the garlic to burn.
8. Return the squid to the pan. Add the lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper, then toss for 30 seconds until evenly coated.
9. Serve immediately with the lemon and herb rice, green salad and lemon wedges.

Food-safety tip: Keep raw squid refrigerated at 5°C or colder and use separate utensils for raw and cooked seafood. Refrigerate leftover squid and rice promptly—don’t leave cooked rice sitting at room temperature.

Clean your catch with Squidezy, then turn it into this quick and delicious family meal!

🌙🦑 SQUID TIP—FISH THE EDGE OF THE LIGHT

Fishing from a jetty after dark? Don’t just cast into the brightest patch of water.

Jetty lights can attract baitfish, while squid often patrol the boundary between the illuminated water and the darkness. That light-shadow edge gives them somewhere to approach their prey without remaining completely exposed.

Try this approach:

🎣 Cast along or slightly beyond the edge of the light.
⏱️ Let your jig sink to different depths until you find the squid.
⬆️ Use two or three controlled lifts, then allow a natural pause.
👀 Watch the line closely—strikes during the drop can feel like extra weight rather than a sharp bite.
🔄 Cover several casting angles before moving to another light.

Keep the jetty tidy, watch for other anglers and always carry a reliable torch for safely handling your gear.

Fishing rules, limits and closures vary around Australia, so check the current regulations for your state or territory before fishing.

Do you catch more squid directly beneath the lights or out along the darker edge? Tell us below! 👇

🦑 SQUID FISHING TIP — DON’T GIVE UP TOO EARLY!

Ever had squid follow your jig all the way in… then turn away at the last second?

Try this: stop the jig and let it sink.

Squid will often follow a moving jig without committing. A short pause followed by a slow, natural drop can be exactly what triggers the strike.

🎣 Try this retrieve:
• Cast out and let your jig reach the working depth
• Give it 2–3 sharp lifts
• Wind in the slack
• Pause and let the jig sink naturally
• Repeat, varying the length of your pause

Around jetties, w**d beds and broken reef, keep watching behind your jig. If you spot a squid following, don’t immediately rip the lure away — slow things down and give it a chance to attack.

And once you’ve landed your squid, there’s the messy part…

That’s where Squidezy comes in. 🇦🇺

🦑🎣 SQUID TIP—MATCH YOUR JIG SIZE TO THE WATER

Bigger isn’t always better. Choosing a jig that suits the depth, wind and current can make a big difference.

A simple starting guide:

🔹 Size 2.5: Handy for shallow, calm water or when smaller squid are feeding.
🔹 Size 3.0: A versatile all-round choice for many Australian jetties, bays and inshore areas.
🔹 Size 3.5: Useful in deeper water, stronger current or wind when you need extra casting distance and a faster sink.

If your jig never reaches the squid before drifting away, move up a size or use a suitable additional weight. If it keeps snagging the bottom, choose a smaller or slower-sinking jig and shorten your sink count.

Sink rates vary between jig models, so watch your line and learn how long each one takes to reach the strike zone. Once you find the successful depth, repeat the same count on every cast.

Fishing rules, limits and closures vary around Australia—always check the current regulations where you’re fishing.

🦑🎣 SQUID TIP—DON’T LOSE IT AT THE LAST SECOND

You’ve hooked a squid and brought it all the way to the jetty or boat—now is not the time to rush!

Squid are often lost beside the boat when an angler stops winding, gives the line slack or tries to lift a heavy squid by the jig.

For a safer landing:

✅ Keep the rod bent and maintain steady pressure.
✅ Wind smoothly—avoid jerking the squid through the water.
✅ Have a landing net ready before it reaches you.
✅ Lead the squid gently into the net, preferably mantle-first.
✅ Never lift a large squid clear of the water using the jig alone.
✅ Keep it pointed away from yourself and others—it may still release ink!

If another angler is nearby, leave the hooked squid in the water briefly while they cast close behind it. Squid often travel in groups, so one hooked squid may bring curious companions within range.

Always check the current fishing rules, limits and closures for your Australian state or territory.

What’s your preferred landing method—a net, squid gaff or carefully lifting smaller squid? 👇

🎨🦑 SQUID TIP—LET THE CONDITIONS CHOOSE YOUR JIG

Don’t stick with one favourite colour all day. Match your squid jig to the water and available light:

☀️ Clear water and bright sun: Try natural prawn, brown, olive or silver patterns.

☁️ Cloudy or murky water: Switch to brighter pink, orange, UV or high-contrast colours.

🌙 Dawn, dusk or beneath jetty lights: A glow belly or dark-backed jig can create a stronger silhouette.

Seeing squid follow without grabbing? Change to a contrasting colour or allow a longer pause before changing locations. Sometimes one small adjustment is all it takes!

Fishing rules, limits and closures vary around Australia, so always check the current regulations for the state or territory where you’re fishing before heading out.
