Tailoring
Squid can be used in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create the dyeable Sailor Shirt. 
Fish Pond
Squid can be placed in a Fish Pond, where they will reproduce every 3 days. The initial pond capacity is 3 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing two quests. Instead of producing Roe, squid ponds produce Squid Ink.
