SHELLFISH SQUID WH CLEANED THAWED WILD

Transform your seafood dishes with this whole cleaned squid, expertly prepared and ready to cook straight from thawed. This wild-caught squid arrives completely cleaned with tentacles intact, saving you valuable prep time while ensuring you get the freshest possible product for your culinary creations. Squid offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a tender yet firm texture when cooked properly. The key to perfect squid is quick cooking at high heat or slow braising - anything in between can result in a rubbery texture. Popular preparation methods include grilling, frying, stuffing, or adding to pasta dishes and seafood stews. This whole squid is ideal for classic Mediterranean preparations like calamari rings, Spanish paella, Italian frutti di mare, or Greek stuffed squid with rice and herbs. The tender tentacles are particularly prized in many coastal cuisines for their unique texture and ability to absorb flavors. For best results, pat the squid dry before cooking and score the body in a crosshatch pattern to prevent curling. Stuff the body cavity with breadcrumb mixtures, rice, or vegetables for an elegant presentation, or slice into rings for quick-frying appetizers. Squid pairs beautifully with garlic, lemon, olive oil, tomatoes, and fresh herbs like parsley and oregano. Whether you're preparing Asian-inspired stir-fries, Mediterranean seafood platters, or contemporary fusion dishes, this cleaned whole squid provides the convenience and quality needed for restaurant-worthy results at home.
