Squid

Scientific Name: Todarodes pacificus

Market Name: Japanese Flying Squid, Ink Fish, Calamari

The Japanese Flying squid has a long tube like body, with a pair of fins that resemble wings. At the front are two long tentacles and eight smaller ones. The colour is a light reddish-brown with black speckling.  It is becoming more popular each year in the UK, particularly with the growing diversity of restaurants.

As part of our added value range our squid is dusted with a flavoured coating, ready to be fried. We also have stuffed or simply raw cleaned squid ready to be added to a number of dishes, like our delicious Vietnamese Stuffed Squid recipe.
