Blanched squid ring
The Illex argentinus squid is a cephalopod also called Argentinian red squid or simply squid. The tentacles and arms are under the head and mantle, and its colors present brown to purple tones.
It is caught from February to June in the South-Western Atlantic ocean (FAO zone 41), using trawls or jigs (multi-hooks lines).
It is present in waters of Brasil, Uruguay, Argentina and Falkland Islands; and it is the principal cephalopod species exploited in that region where it has a major role in the ecosystem.
Its treatment with citric acid gives it a tender texture.
We offer it as rings made from squid tubes.
It can be appreciated in ready meals, seafood cocktails or paella.
