Jack - I was quoting canon, you just reminded me of it :)  In 'Into the Deep' when Henry goes under the sleeping curse, Gold tells him the story of when Rumple gets caught. He states that it's the ink that did it not the quill as was previously thought. He states that the ink comes from the rarest squid found at the bottom of a bottomless sea and can only be retrieved by mermaids and the Dark One.  Neverland is the only place (on the show) where it has been specifically stated mermaids exist - therefore I do not think it is such a stretch to say that the squid may be in Neverland :)
