Salt & Pepper Squid

Dosidicus gigas

Golden, crisp, and irresistibly tender, these wild-caught squid strips are coated in a delicate salt and pepper crumb that delivers both flavour and crunch in perfect balance. Each piece is crafted from whole squid fillets that are carefully trimmed, scored, and pre-fried to preserve their naturally sweet, mild taste and succulent texture. The result is a premium, ready-to-cook product that fries or bakes to a beautiful golden finish every time. Ideal for restaurant entrées, share plates, or catering menus looking for a consistent, high-quality seafood option with minimal preparation and maximum appeal.

Key Features:

  • Made from 65% real squid

  • Wild caught in cold ocean waters

  • Tender pineapple-cut strips for premium texture and presentation

  • Light salt and pepper crumb coating for consistent flavour

  • Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) for freshness and portion control

  • Ready to deep fry or oven bake from frozen

  • Processed in a HACCP-certified facility

Sustainability

The jumbo (Humboldt) squid Dosidicus gigas is listed by the IUCN as Data Deficient, meaning there isn’t enough information to determine population trends or threat levels. It is widely distributed throughout the eastern Pacific and known for its fast growth, short lifespan, and high reproductive rate, traits that make it relatively resilient to fishing pressure.

Sustainability assessments recommend responsible sourcing from regulated fisheries and transparency in catch methods, since ecosystem shifts and overfishing could alter stock health quickly.
