2 Squid ALL ABOUT Squid, often referred to as calamari (Italian for squid), is a popular culinary staple in many parts of the world, especially in Asian and Mediterranean cuisines. It s a fast growing category and with its high-perceived value and high margins, it offers an intriguing and appealing option for both operators and patrons. Features Squid are wild-caught in the oceans off,, India, Japan and Argentina. The meat is firm, white and mild tasting, with a slightly sweet, almost nutty flavour. More than 300 species of squid have been identified, but the most commonly served squid are Loligo and Illex. Although squid range in size from very small to very large, commercially sold squid are usually 12 inches long or smaller. Depending on the cooking method, squid is a good menu choice for the health conscious consumer as it s low in calories, has no saturated fats and is high in protein. Uses Versatile in the kitchen, squid can be cooked quickly over high heat, taking mere minutes, or cooked slowly using low heat. From the very popular dusted and deep-fried appetizer, to simply marinated and grilled, calamari can be featured on the menu in many ways - tossed into a salad or featured as an entrée. Squid can be stuffed, combined with shrimp or crab, mixed with other fish to form a seafood medley, or incorporated into pasta or rice dishes. Sizing Squid is sold either by length per tube in inches or by pieces per kilo. For product consistency, Ocean Jewel squid is sold only by length per tube in inches. For example, 3/5 tube and tentacle means the tube length is 3-5 inches, not count. Ocean Jewel squid is consistent in quality and is naturally tender.
