Does anyone know what this Chinese food is, and does anyone have this recipe?
When I went to china town I had this great tasting dish. It had the rubbery feeling of squid, but it was a lot thicker,
It may have been cuttle fish. It was a orange color, and it came out of a chinese box. This seafood was cut into strips and marinated in this great tasting brown/ orange colored sauce. I would like to know what it is I ate, and If anyone knows how to prepare this dish. Thanks!

It is cuttlefish. Mostly would serve with roast pork (Char Siu) in Cantonese Restaurants or Chiu Chow Restaurants, below is a photo of some hanging there.
In Cantonese, we call it "Lou sui mug yu" (mug = ink, yu = fish), "lou sui" is the sauce (with seasoning) to boil the cuttlefish. (I guess they put food colouring in the lou sui to make them turn orange in colour), it is a very common cheap store-bought food, so I have never thought of preparing it at home. I will try to find the recipe.

You should be able to remember what is the name when you ordered that great tasting dish.
I don't know what is it called since there are lots of similar dishes in Chinese cooking like you are saying.
I don't know to be 100% sure, I mean from what you are discribing it may of been chow meing with eel, if you are sure it was with fish. That's about the closest I can guess.
Cuttle fish is very popular in China so it may have been.
Try and find this food again and while there ask questions.

i am thinking that you had abalone. it usually is served with strips of jellyfish, too.
