Fancy Squid Tubes and Tentacles
Fancy Squid Tubes and Tentacles are a versatile seafood choice with a mild flavor and tender texture when properly prepared. They’re excellent for calamari, pasta, seafood stews, grilling, sautéing, and a variety of Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes.
What Does Squid Taste Like?
Squid has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that easily takes on the flavors of seasonings, marinades, sauces, and other ingredients.
Its texture can be tender when cooked quickly over high heat or slowly in dishes such as soups, stews, and sauces.
How to Cook Squid
Squid can be fried, grilled, sautéed, braised, or added to pasta and seafood dishes.
For classic calamari, the tubes can be sliced into rings and prepared with the tentacles. Squid also pairs well with lemon, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, fresh herbs, chili, and a variety of sauces.
How Much Squid Should I Order?
Fancy Squid Tubes and Tentacles are sold by the pound with a 3-pound minimum order and come frozen in a 3-pound block.
For a main course, approximately ½ pound per person is a useful starting point. The amount needed may vary depending on your recipe and whether the squid is served as a main course or part of a larger meal.
