Squid tube is the cleaned body cylinder—mild, lean, and the base for stuffing, rings, and scored grill pieces. It should be pearly and firm, not pink or ammoniac. Score in a crosshatch for quick grilling, stuff and braise, or slice into rings. Hot and fast or long and moist—avoid the middle ground that toughens.
