Sea Fish
Introduction
Locally known as Maiyya, Shishi Maiyya, or Pusit, squid is a flexible seafood pick that’s perfect for both casual home meals and elegant dishes. With its mildly sweet, slightly nutty flavor and firm white flesh, squid adapts beautifully to frying, grilling, stewing, and salads.
Sourcing & Cutting Options
Our squid is fully cleaned, deveined, and cut depending on your selection.
Each squid typically weighs between 50 g and 150 g before cleaning, and all prices are based on this pre-cleaning weight.
Available options:
| Cut Style | Yield Approx. | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Whole (uncleaned) | 100% | For stuffed or full squid recipes |
| Tubes or rings | ~35% | Fried calamari, kebabs, paella |
Texture & Flavor
When cooked well, squid delivers a pleasant firmness without rubberiness and a clean, slightly sweet ocean flavor.

Squid pairs well with:
-
Frying (classic crispy calamari rings)
-
Grilling tubes on skewers with garlic and herbs
-
Stews or soups in South Asian spice blends
-
Salads or pasta dishes with olive oil and lemon
It’s a crowd-pleaser whether served as street-food style or plated elegantly.
