He watched the live chat for a moment, then grabbed the squid. With a swift motion, he used the combat knife in his right hand to slice open its body.
"Peeling a squid is actually pretty simple. First, twist the tentacles a couple of times to remove them. Then, cut off the eyes. Next is the cartilage, this plastic-like thing in the middle."
He used his combat knife to pick out the almost completely transparent cartilage, then tossed it into the fire along with some colorful entrails and the eyes.
Pinning the flattened squid down with his left hand, he scraped the tip of his knife back and forth across its surface.
