Raw giant squid tentacle

The squid Dosidicus gigas is a cephalopod commonly known as giant squid.

It is one of the largest squids. Its mantle or body can reach a length of 1.5 m. It can easily change color and flash red and white when hunting.
It is caught all year round in F.A.O. 87 (South-East Pacific), with jigging (multi-hook lines).

Its treatment with citric acid gives it a softer texture.
We sell it in tentacle form.
Enjoy it in cooked dishes, seafood cocktails, paella, or marinades.
