Answers:
A squid's body is much more slender than a sepia or cuttlefish!. The eyes are also set more to the side of the head!. When cleaning a squid there is a clear bone called the quill, it looks like plastic and is very thin!. A cuttlefish is broader in width, it's eyes are placed more towards the front of the face, they have a certain scowl look to them!. When cleaning they have a much harder calcified bone in them!. Save the ink sack, if your making a tomato sauce for pasta, open the ink sack in the sauce for the last minute of cooking!. It imparts a delicious flavor and your friends will look at your dish in bewilderment :) However, cooking and taste of the two are almost identical!.
