Where to find Squid
Squid is found in oceans worldwide, thriving in coastal waters and deep seas. Common fishing areas include the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean regions. Our squid wholesale products are sourced from reliable fisheries, ensuring freshness and quality with every delivery to meet the demands of your kitchen.
What Does Squid Taste Like?
Squid has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a delicate brininess, similar to a blend of scallops and lobster. Its texture is firm yet tender when cooked properly, with a pleasant chewiness that is often regarded as ‘meaty’ and absorbs marinades and spices beautifully. Although it looks similar to octopus, squid generally has a milder flavour compared to the richer, more robust taste of octopus. Additionally, octopus has a softer, more tender texture. Squid’s versatility makes it a staple in cuisines from Mediterranean to Asian.

How to Prepare Squid
Begin by rinsing the squid under cold water. For whole squid, remove the head and tentacles by pulling gently. Discard the innards and transparent quill inside the body. Peel off the outer skin for a clean white finish. Slice the body into rings or leave whole for stuffing. If using frozen squid, thaw overnight in the fridge. Pat dry before marinating or seasoning for your recipe.
How to Cook Squid
Squid is quick to cook and incredibly versatile. For the most tender results, cook it either briefly over high heat or low and slow. Grill squid tubes whole, or fry rings in hot oil until golden and crispy. For stews or braises, let simmer to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Pair squid with bold flavours like garlic, lemon, or chilli for delicious dishes that showcase its unique taste and texture.
