Squid

About this item

A 2 kg pack of whole squid with a firm, springy body and glossy, pinkish-brown skin that signals freshness. The flesh stays tender under high heat, so it is forgiving to cook: flash-fry it, grill it whole, or slice it into rings. There is little waste, and the mild, faintly sweet flavour sits well with most seasonings.

Key Features

• Firm, springy flesh that turns tender rather than rubbery
• Glossy skin and intact tentacles that show careful handling
• Consistent size for even cooking
• Low in fat and naturally rich in protein
