Squid

Squid is a familiar seafood with an unmistakably strange form — curious to look at, versatile to cook, and easier to enjoy than many people expect.

About Squid

Squid looks like something assembled out of spare parts — fins, tube-shaped body, wide eyes, and a cluster of tentacles — and yet it’s been part of global food cultures for centuries. While its appearance often sparks curiosity or confusion, squid itself is mild, adaptable, and widely loved once it makes it to the plate.

Flavor & Texture

Squid has a mild, clean flavor and a firm, springy texture. When cooked briefly or handled with care, it stays tender and satisfying. Overcooking can make it chewy, but simple techniques go a long way.

How It’s Offered

Raw:
Squid is processed for customers who harvest it themselves, typically prepared whole or cleaned for cooking.

Smoked:
Squid is frequently smoked for customers. Smoking adds depth and richness, transforming its texture and bringing out a savory character that works well on its own or sliced into dishes.
