Cooking squid for the first time

Yesterday's recipe was Baked squid with chilli tomato sauce.
Felt very unsure about cooking this one, never having cooked a whole squid before. Eaten it many times but never cooked it. As advised by Mr Slater I got the fishmonger to clean the squid for me ( or actually-  my husband went off and did this) so preparing the squid only involved getting the remaining sand out of the middle.
The squid was then stuffed with a very tasty breadcrumb mixture and covered in a wonderful tomato sauce before baking. Very simple really.
( My daughter was with us for tea and made several rude comments regarding the stuffing of the squid!!!!!)
The verdict - wonderful. Not a morsel left on our plates. This was truly delicious and something I will definitely do again. 
We followed this with some more of Mr Slater's Elderberry and apple pancakes with lashings of double cream . A feast indeed!!!
