Cleaned Wild-Caught Squid 野生欧洲笔管鱿鱼

Cleaned Wild-Caught Squid (Loligo vulgaris), also known as European squid, is prized for its delicate texture and mild, ocean-sweet flavor. Harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of Scotland and the Netherlands, these squid are caught using Seine (flyshoot) methods—ensuring minimal damage to the meat and preserving their natural freshness.

What sets this squid apart is its origin in high-latitude, pristine marine environments, where the icy waters slow down growth and enhance muscle texture. The result is a squid with firm, elastic bite and smooth, tender meat that holds up beautifully across a variety of cooking methods.

Each piece comes fully cleaned—headless, skinless, and gutted—saving you preparation time and making it perfect for home cooks and professional kitchens alike. You may also hear it referred to as “pencil squid,” “calamari,” or simply “middle-sized squid” depending on the local market.

Whether you’re stir-frying it with garlic and chili, deep-frying for a crispy golden finish, or gently blanching it for dipping sauces, this squid performs beautifully. It’s also a classic choice for Sanbei (three-cup) squid, a beloved Taiwanese dish.

From the clean northern seas to your kitchen table, this is premium wild seafood at its best.
