Bring the finest squid to your kitchen with our Squid Loligo โ 21/25 Count, Whole Round, Vacuum Packed (per lb) โ a premium variety of squid celebrated worldwide for its exceptionally tender flesh, mild and clean oceanic flavour, and superior texture compared to other squid varieties. With 21โ25 squid per pound, these are a generous, versatile size that works beautifully across a wide range of Asian and Western preparations โ from whole grilled squid and calamari to stir-fries, hot pot, and stuffed squid dishes.
Grilling whole (recommended): Thaw, clean if desired, score the body, marinate in olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs, and grill over high heat for 2โ3 minutes per side until lightly charred and tender โ a stunning, restaurant-worthy presentation.
Stir-frying: Clean, slice into rings or strips, and stir-fry with garlic, ginger, XO sauce, or black bean sauce over high heat for 2โ3 minutes until lightly caramelized and cooked through.
Stuffed Squid: Clean the body tube, stuff with a seasoned rice, pork, or seafood filling, and braise or bake for 20โ25 minutes for an impressive, flavourful dish.

Loligo squid is a chefโs favourite for its superior tenderness and versatility โ grill whole with a chimichurri or garlic herb butter for a stunning Mediterranean-style main, slice into rings and deep-fry for a classic crispy calamari appetizer, or stir-fry with XO sauce and scallions for a bold Cantonese dish. For a truly impressive dinner party centrepiece, try stuffing the body tube with a savoury glutinous rice and pork filling and braising in a rich soy sauce โ a classic Asian delicacy that never fails to wow.
