Squid

Squid is a type of seafood that comes from the ocean. It is a soft-bodied mollusc with a long, tube-like body and tentacles. Squid is a popular ingredient in many seafood dishes and is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavour.

Squid is harvested from the sea and can be caught through fishing or aquaculture. Once caught, the squid is cleaned, removing the internal organs and ink sac, leaving behind the edible parts like the body and tentacles. It can be cooked in various ways, such as grilling, frying, or adding to soups and salads.

Squid is used in many food products to add seafood flavour and texture. You can find squid in dishes like calamari rings, sushi rolls, paella, or seafood pasta. It is often included in frozen seafood mixes or canned seafood products. Squid can enhance the taste of a dish and provide a chewy texture that many people enjoy.
