Why has no one ever tried to make calamari out of a giant squid?

Larger squid taste like ass and have terrible texture. Have you even prepared seafood in your life?

tough and filled with parasites

It's the same reason people don't eat lobsters over a certain size.

Lot's of people think the meat becomes tough when they get older, but really it's just that you need to overcook them to cook them through, and they basically turn to rubber.

The real reason is that they've never been caught and, believe it or not, have only very rarely been seen alive.

The first time they've ever been photographed, ever, was just about ten years ago and first time they've ever been filmed was only three or four ago. They're elusive as fuck. That's why no one eats them.

what? There are literally two giant squid specimens on display right now, one in London and one in Melbourne. The earliest recorded specimen of a giant squid was found washed onshore in Newfoundland in 1873.

Sure, they might be elusive but there have been around 700 known specimens found; you're talking out of your ass.

>dead specimens washing up on the beach is the same thing as "rarely seen alive"
You're just both halves of a whole idiot, ain't ya buddy?

>Deep sea squid especially have ammonia in their tissues and when it defrosts it is released into the atmosphere, making most of the building smell of urine for quite a few days

Enjoy your piss flavoured calamari anon.

Because they're very deep water creatures. They only turn up occasionally, and they've never been seen alive with the naked eye. It's only recently that we've even sent stuff down to film them.
They were, for ages, only known from sperm whale stomach contants.

>first post says nothing about them being alive
Reading comprehension faggot.

>being a full time moron
How sad for you.

because the pressure of being deep underwater causes them to become real tough due to fighting the waters resistance, and nobody likes tough squid

You wouldn't eat a fucking squid that has wash up on a shore.
If you can't catch them love or kill them yourself then you probably shouldn't eat it.
