Clean the fresh cuttlefish by removing the innards and beak. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, finely minced garlic cloves, and the juice of half a lemon. Whisk together until well-blended.
Coat the cuttlefish with the garlic-lemon oil mixture, ensuring they are well-covered.
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat until hot.
Place the cuttlefish on the grill, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.
While grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Once cooked, remove the cuttlefish from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the cooked cuttlefish with sea salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over them to finish.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
