Wild-caught frozen calamari featuring whole tubes (mantles) and tentacles. This Illex squid is fully cleaned and ready to cook, offering mild flavor with subtle sweetness. The meat is firm yet tender when properly prepared. Ideal for frying, sautéing, or baking in sauces.

The secret to tender calamari is to cook it either quickly (a couple of minutes) or for around 30 minutes. Quick cooking methods include battering and frying rings or sautéing. For braised or baked preparations, cook for at least 30 minutes to ensure tenderness. Avoid overcooking in the 3-20 minute range, as this will make the squid tough. If overcooked, continue cooking for 20 more minutes and it will become tender again.
