Raw whole cuttlefish

The cuttlefish Sepia aculeata is a cephalopod commonly known as cuttlefish or needlefish.

It is distinguished from other cephalopods by the presence of ten tentacles, two of which are longer than the others. Its cylindrical and oval body has two lateral fins and houses a “bone” made of white limestone.
It is caught all year round in F.A.O. 51 or 57 (Indian Ocean), using trawls.

Its treatment with citric acid gives it a softer texture.
We sell it whole, raw and cleaned.
Enjoy it in ready meals, snacks, salads or marinades.
