About Squid, short finned

Short-finned squid is a common name used for squid with relatively short fins, but it does not uniquely identify a single species in all markets. Squid generally have an elongated mantle, eight arms, and two longer tentacles; the edible flesh is pale, mild, and firm. Exact size, fin shape, and flavor can vary with the species and catch.

It is sold whole or cleaned, and as mantle, arms, or cut pieces, fresh or frozen. Because the common name is not consistently specific, a market product may need a more precise identification; whole squid and cleaned edible portions also describe different forms.
