About Argentine shortfin squid

Argentine shortfin squid is a marine cephalopod sold as whole squid or as prepared pieces such as tubes, rings and tentacles. Its flesh is pale and mild, with a firm, slightly springy texture when cooked appropriately. Overcooking can make squid tough; tenderness also varies with size, handling and preparation.

It is used in seafood dishes and may be sold fresh or frozen, cleaned or uncleaned. Frozen products can be whole or cut, while breaded or seasoned squid is a separate processed form. The catalogue name does not specify the body part, cleaning, freezing, or added ingredients, all of which matter when comparing products.
