Key Features
Year-round supply.
The Indian Ocean has abundant squid resources and a long fishing season. Supply runs through the year, so your production schedule and menus don't get hit by seasonal gaps.
Consistent sizing.
Weight grading is strict, so what's in the box matches what's on the spec. Standardized portions, less time spent sorting by hand.
Efficient processing.
Cleaning is standardized - viscera, cartilage and ink sac out - so the tubes arrive clean and intact, ready to use after thawing. You save the pre-processing time and labor.
The price story.
Against Argentine shortfin squid (Illex argentinus) or common squid (Todarodes pacificus), Indian Ocean squid costs less as raw material. The quality holds; the price is what wins on volume orders.
