Value added squid products offer significant advantages for foodservice operators and retailers. Pre-cleaned, portioned, and ready to cook, they eliminate labor-intensive preparation while reducing waste and inconsistency. You get consistent sizing, reliable quality, and products tailored to your menu needs—whether crumbed calamari rings, marinated pieces, or custom cuts.
The cost savings extend beyond labor. With value added squid, you pay only for usable product, avoiding the 30-40% waste typical of whole squid processing. Standardized portions mean better inventory management and more predictable food costs. Plus, frozen value added products offer extended shelf life and year-round availability, protecting you from seasonal price fluctuations.
For your customers, value added squid means faster service and consistent quality in every dish. For your business, it means streamlined operations, reduced kitchen complexity, and the ability to offer premium seafood dishes without specialized prep staff.
Our business focus is to provide our customers with a clear, reliable supply chain, allowing them to focus on selling their product. We have established strong alliances with factories in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Africa and South America, enabling us to focus on product development and value added services for our customers.
