with salt it's definitely preserved. i've eaten fresh cuttlefish a

few times, raw and steamed. it's a close relative of squid and

octopus, fairly similar nutritionally, and certainly a healthy

food. steamed is delicious, but raw it wasn't as tasty as raw

octopus, so my cephalopod intake is pretty much exclusively octopus.

there's a USDA entry for cuttlefish if you want nutrient data.
