@tomcat - thnx for the pics. Everything looked delish!

Katie. Those values were raw. I knew goong were high but never realised that squid was higher and quite a bit so.

^ooh, I just Googled. You're right.

Value (in mg) of cholesterol per 100 g serving:

Squid 233 mg, Shrimp 211, Eel 161, Sardine 142 mg.

I should still be safe to eat a lil squid since my cholesterol values are low.
