Answer 3

Not sure.

Answer 4

I would look in the Italian delis in Outramont or Bonanza in Laval, or look it up in the Yellow Pages, even buy say 6 good size squid (you can make frito miso or marinated squid for an antipasto/tapas), they will still have the ink sack in them, or if you can find a whole cuttlefish, that would be available in the Chinese area at the fish counter.

I worked for a brief time at the QE Hotel in 1980's and vistied a friend who worked at the Delta for years back in the 90's, check out those ideas, if you can find the sepia packs at the Italian stores they keep for a long time, but the squid or cuttlefish idea is an option too.
