Frozen Gigas Squid Strip

Frozen Gigas Squid Strip
Product Introduction:
Most squid products curl the moment they hit heat. These don't, and that's the point. Wild-caught Peruvian gigas squid — Dosidicus gigas — is cut lengthwise, along the grain, into strips, then IQF-frozen. The frozen gigas squid strips we ship stay straight when cooked, keep their shape on the plate, and hold up to high-heat wok work and grilling without turning tough.
That's the difference between this product and the scored cuts: cutting with the grain keeps the muscle fibers intact, so the strips lie flat and uniform instead of curling. Firm and resilient, they stand up to high-heat cooking without turning tough or overcooking. Food processing plants, hotel kitchens and foodservice distributors use them as a dependable bulk ingredient — and they do particularly well in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

FAQ

 

Q1: Do the squid strips curl after heating?

Generally, no. Our squid strips are cut lengthwise-following the direction of the muscle fibers-to maximize fiber integrity. They retain their straight shape after heating and do not easily curl, making them ideal for foodservice applications where neat presentation is a priority.

Q2: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

The standard MOQ is one full 40GP container. Please contact our sales team for specific arrangements.

Q3: What is the difference between squid strips, squid rings, and squid flowers?

The main differences lie in the cutting method and texture/appearance:

Squid strips (cut lengthwise/with the grain) - Remain straight after heating; resistant to curling; suitable for stir-frying, grilling, and dishes requiring neat presentation.

Squid rings (cut crosswise into circles) - Uniform shape; suitable for deep-frying, salads, etc.

Squid flowers (scored/pattern-cut) - Curl and bloom into a flower shape upon heating; suitable for banquets and hot pot where visual appeal is important.

Q4: Do the Peruvian squid strips require de-acidification?

Raw Peruvian Dosidicus gigas (Jumbo Flying Squid) naturally has a slightly acidic taste. Our processing includes a professional de-acidification step to ensure the finished product has a clean flavor without acidity. If you have specific requirements, please discuss and confirm them with our sales team when placing your order.
