Wu Di Lou is our local dialect name for the smallest squid in the sea. The specific name of the smallest squid in the sea is called - the young squid. Of all the squid in the world, the baby squid is the smallest. Its length is no more than 1.5 centimeters, about the same size as a peanut, and its weight is only 0.1 grams. This ultra-small squid lives in aquatic plants in the sea. It looks very similar to ordinary squids, except that it has an extra suction cup on its back, which can be attached to aquatic plants to prevent it from being washed away by the sea water. It usually rests on the water plants, but once it finds prey, it suddenly attacks. After eating, it returns to the water plants to rest quietly, waiting for the next prey. The most common way to eat this smallest squid in the sea is to mix it with eggs and steam it. The taste is very delicious. When you enter the squid, the soup bursts out instantly and is very rich. Because of the combination of eggs, the texture is also very delicate and soft. It is a rare delicacy.
