A squid, as pointed out by other answers, is a
mollusk, related to snails and clams. It is not a
fish, although in the usual inexact way of common
names it, along with clams and shrimp, is often
referred to as a shellfish.
There are several families of squid, all of which
belong to the Class Cephalopoda of the Phylum
Mollusca.

I think Squid is not a fish.
It is a family of Cephalopods. Cephalopod means "head-foot." Cephalopods are a class of fast-swimming mollusk. Some have a hard external shell, but most do not. Cephalopods are marine predators; these carnivores eat fish, worms, crustaceans, and other mollusks. Some cephalopods include the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus, and ammonite (and other extinct animals). There are about 650 living cephalopods and over 7,500 known extinct cephalopods.

A squid is a mollusk. This is a very different scientific classification than that of fish.
