What determines the price of frozen squid?
There is no single list price. The quotation depends on the size grade, the format you need (tubes, rings or whole round), the glaze percentage and the net weight basis, the origin, the fishing season, the order volume and the incoterm you buy on, FOB or CIF. Send us the specification and we will return a current price through the Request Quote button on this page.
How do I place a wholesale squid order?
Wholesale squid is sold by the container. Confirm the size grade, tube or ring format, glaze percentage, net weight, packing and destination port in writing, and we build the specification with the producer. Processing runs in EU approved, HACCP covered plants. Use the Request Quote button with your requirement and we will come back with the specification and shipping plan.
Do you supply frozen squid to Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. Squid ships as a frozen reefer container to Gulf ports on FOB or CIF terms, from Malaysian or Omani plants depending on the grade you need. Omani whole round squid is EU approved and FDA registered. Documents are prepared for the destination market, and the lead time is confirmed per order once the production slot and sailing are booked.
What is the difference between squid tubes and squid rings?
Tubes are the cleaned whole body, which your kitchen cuts to the thickness the menu needs. Rings are pre portioned and go straight to the fryer, which removes labour in high volume service. Both come from Dosidicus gigas, IQF with 10 percent glaze, in 1 kg bags and 10 kg cartons. Choose by portion weight and labour cost.
