Cuttlefish

Cuttlefish are related to squid and octopus and are predatory, intelligent animals.  The copious quantities of black ink produced by cuttlefish are sometimes used in cooking and the flesh of cuttlefish is high in protein and an alternative to squid. They have a delicate flavour and are easy to cook, working particularly well in braised dishes.
