YET ANOTHER GIFT FROM THE SEA YOU CAN EAT THE CUTTLEFISH AND USE HIS BONE FOR SEVERAL PURPOSES. BEING A DIVER AND MARINE ZOOLOGIST I HAVE ENJOYED MANY HOURS WATCHING CUTTLEFISH.

Salaams Vandoo ~ Thanks for the response... I was down the souk today and looking at Martini Henry Rifles and thought to shoot some pictures and feed them in here. Either that or I may start a new thread.
