Squid
Squid will be tough if you cook it improperly. Either cook it fast with high heat such as in deep-frying or stir-frying; or cook it low and slow, at least an hour in liquid (braising). Anything else will turn that lovely squid into a rubber-band like texture.
You can purchase squid fresh, frozen or canned. When buying it fresh, expect about 3 squid per pound.
You can substitute cuttlefish or baby octopus in place of it in most recipes that call for the sliced rings.
