Wild Whole Squid (Per Lb)

Wild-caught whole raw squid sold fresh by the pound at Costco's seafood counter. Each squid is sold whole and uncleaned, including the mantle, tentacles, fins, and ink sac, giving home cooks full control over preparation.

Squid is prized for its versatility and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It can be cleaned and cut into rings for calamari, grilled whole, stuffed and baked, braised in tomato sauce, or used in stir-fries and paella. Because it is sold by the pound, the quantity purchased is based on weight at the time of purchase, making it ideal for buying exactly the amount needed.

Squid cooks quickly — just 1 to 2 minutes over high heat for tender results, or low and slow for at least 30 minutes to break down the connective tissue. Whole squid should be kept refrigerated and used within 1 to 2 days of purchase, or frozen for longer storage.
