The ones that are processed and in plastic packages, are they good for bait? They are a bit processed and missing the guts but they are cheaper.....
-
It works fine for rockfish and Lingcod.

You can usually find the white boxes of whole squid at Safeway. At least the one by my house has it. That being said the processed stuff still smells like squid and will work as a cut bait.

look for an Asian food store in your area, they usually keep fresher stuff, if you don't want frozen but I would use whatever is cheaper.

If your looking for octopus, Outdoor Proshop in Cotati sells them. Tried several time no luck.

I like the one on Petaluma and SR ave next to SR seafood..

I get my squid and anchovies in the frozen food aisle at Luckys'. Same brands as a lot of bait shops.

The Seawave stuff at Safeway is my Go-To! Best price for 3LB of Squid. I buy as many as possible, diviy up into 1Gallon bags 1LB a piece and have several trips worth ready to go. And if I dont use them, they can always go into a crab trap towards the end of the year.
-
Seafood City (Asian Supermarket) carries 3 kinds of squid; small, large and jumbo. You can buy by the pound. I am going fishing tomorrow and got 1 Jumbo (cut bait), 4 Large (whole bait) and 5 pieces of Sardines. Bill was around $8.

this is what I do too. I use some tupperware containers to split up the bait and to contain it on the yak.
I don't go into safeway very often so when I do, I load up on bait, martini onions, gin, and hot sauce :smt005
usually get a comment from the cashier of "what the F are you doing with that squid?"
-
I have learned alot today.

Nice thing about Asian Supermarkets is you can buy what need for a day / trip and its fairly fresh. Once in while they sell fresh dead Jacksmelt and its Ling candy.

I probably should have clarified my first post. Safeway used to carry the good squid in the general frozen section. They have moved it to the fish section in a small freezer next to where they process and package the fresh fish. Ask the person running the seafood counter. They are usually very helpful.
-
I suspect the safeway in my hood probably doesn't carry the good stuff.

western boat on San Pedro has squid and the Asian market on Mary street by Whole Foods might have octopus

By the way, Do you know the difference between squid and calamari?... about $8.00 a pound.

In the restaurant they must be deep frying squid.
