Always Fresh, Never Frozen

That’s generally a good motto for seafood, except when it’s a colossal squid. They’ve frozen the stupendous cephalopod caught last month in New Zealand (see previous post). It’s at the national museum in Wellington, where they’ll eventually preserve it for study. But thawing a thousand-pound squid isn’t easy.
