How to Prepare

Stir-frying (recommended): Thaw, clean, score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern, blanch briefly in boiling water for 30 seconds until it curls beautifully, then stir-fry with garlic, ginger, celery, and oyster sauce over high heat for 2–3 minutes — the classic Cantonese stir-fried cuttlefish (爆炒墨魚) that is a beloved restaurant and home cooking staple.
Braising: Braise in a rich soy, ginger, garlic, and Shaoxing wine sauce for 30–40 minutes until melt-in-the-mouth tender — a classic Teochew-style braised cuttlefish preparation beloved across Cantonese and Teochew households.
Grilling: Score, marinate in soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger, and grill over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly charred and beautifully caramelized.
Ink-based dishes: Use the ink sac to make a dramatic, deeply flavourful black risotto nero, squid ink pasta, or Spanish arroz negro — a stunning Mediterranean preparation that showcases the cuttlefish’s unique ink.
