Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using charcoal, make sure the coals are evenly spread and hot.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
  3. Lay the cleaned cuttlefish on a clean surface and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade stick better.
  4. Place the cuttlefish in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the cuttlefish, making sure they are well-coated. You can also use a brush to spread the marinade evenly.
  5. Let the cuttlefish marinate for about 15-30 minutes. Don't marinate for too long, as the acid in the lemon juice can start to break down the seafood.
  6. While the cuttlefish is marinating, clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Once the grill is hot and the cuttlefish has marinated, place the cuttlefish on the grill. You can use skewers or a grill basket to keep them from falling through the grates.
  8. Grill the cuttlefish for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have grill marks. Be careful not to overcook them, as cuttlefish can become tough if cooked for too long.
  9. Remove the grilled cuttlefish from the grill and place them on a serving platter
  10. Serve the grilled cuttlefish hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

 

Enjoy your delicious grilled cuttlefish! You can serve it with a side of salad, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
