We should start a fund for any biologists who can make giant squid taste at least as good as trivial squid. There have been many jokes about how tasty these are. I once tried raw squid at a Japanese restaurant, against the owner's advice. The dominant flavor was ammonia (which they use for buoyancy). It seems from these tales, their giant cousins would taste even worse.

"When Roper handed his hot-off-the-grill delicacy around to the dinner guests, it turned out that he was the only diner willing to partake. He didn't eat much. Architeuthis flesh tasted like ammonia, something like floor cleaner, perhaps, he declared. Since his experiment, other scientists had concurred with Roper's "floor cleaner" finding."
