Product Details
Frozen Indian Ocean squid
Frozen Indian Ocean squid, primarily comprising species such as Symlectoteuthis oualaniensis (purpleback flying squid) and various loliginid varieties, represents one of the most abundant and commercially valuable cephalopod resources in the world. Harvested from the warm, nutrient-rich waters of FAO fishing zones 51 and 57, this squid is recognized globally for its firm texture, mild flavor, and exceptional versatility. Our frozen Indian Ocean squid is wild-caught by specialized jigging vessels that ensure minimal bycatch and optimal catch quality. Once aboard, the squid is either blast-frozen or brine-frozen within hours of harvest, locking in freshness and preventing the rapid autolysis that can compromise quality. We offer this premium resource in multiple forms-from whole round for further processing to fully cleaned tubes, rings, and tentacles ready for direct use in foodservice and retail applications.
