About
A GREAT VALUE BOX FOR ANY SQUID LOVER
All our squid is sourced from the Patagonian sea shelf in the cold Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina. This squid species is desired the world over for its flavour and richness in all-important B Vitamins. The Patagonian longfin squid are very short-lived, surviving for only a year, but this makes the population very resilient with a low vulnerability to fishing pressure. Squid is commonly called by its Italian name Calamari.
CONTENT
Cleaned squid tubes and heads (3 x packs with approx. 900g each for a total of 2.7kg in your box)
-
Instructions
Your Squid tubes and heads will arrive frozen, simply store in your freezer (up to 3 months) and use at your leisure. It is best to remove product from packaging to defrost (do not thaw under vacuum/pressure), simply place on a tray in your fridge and allow to thaw slowly.
Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed seperately or cut into smaller portions etc.

South AfricaSquid Lovers Box - exceeded expectations
The freshest squid ever found. Made the most delicious risotto with calamari dish - only need to use basic ingredients as the calamari is so fresh you don’t need much to let it be the hero of the dish. The squid comes in a very generous pack which is exactly what’s needed when its so delicious and everyone goes back for more.
South AfricaVery pleasant experience indeed
From ordering, to delivery, to the table. A wonderful experience indeed. Love the idea that it comes in individual packages (each enough) for a family of 4. Used the Fishwife recipe and it did not disappoint. Great product complimented by great service.
South AfricaHappiness is
Superb product , wonderful service .
South AfricaReally good quality produce
In a time when it is difficult to always get good Calamari, this is a great purchase to always have in your freezer. Love that it is packed in 3 separate packets, but with a third of each variety in each pack. I use it in my seekos potjie that is a big favourite with my family
South AfricaAwesome
As always a great product delivered in the shortest possible time period.
South AfricaAmazing product that is easy to use
The convenience of the product is out of this world. Packaged for usability and even a noob like me could make an amazing meal from this. Thanks for the recipe suggestions as well.

South AfricaRecent purchase.

South AfricaDelicious squid
Excellent squid and beautifully cleaned
South AfricaSquid lovers box - amazing!
The squid is so fresh, I followed the recipe suggested on your website and it was amazing. The family said best calamari they have had! I kept it so simple with butter and garlic and it was delicious. Served it with risotto with asparagus and worked out perfectly.
South AfricaQuick Delicious & ready to GO
Once you get it right, and that isn’t hard, Incomparable in cost and quality to 80% of the palaces that have calamari on the menu. Our fussy 5 year old eats these things off a skewer as fast as we can serve them. We keep a pack of these in the freezer and struggle to keep them there. Delicious and quick. Good for at least 4-6 People per pack X 3 packs in this box. Great value.
South AfricaSquid Lover's Box
We've ordered this a number of times - very yummy in paella, Spanish rice, etc. Squid is always soft. 3 separate packings very handy and ideal.
