Product Identity & Origin

Squid flower is a premium seafood cut derived from squid, precisely scored to create a flower-like shape that enhances texture and cooking absorption. Known scientifically as Loligo vulgaris, it belongs to the Loliginidae family. Referred to in Arabic as زهرة الحبار, this species thrives in coastal marine habitats, typically sourced from FAO Area 51 (Western Indian Ocean). Wild caught using sustainable trawling methods, it offers a delicate ocean flavor, slightly sweet taste, and tender bite. The flesh is smooth, pearly white with a firm yet soft texture when cooked. In UAE cuisine, it is popular in fried platters, calamari dishes, and adapted into Machboos style seafood rice. Its unique scoring allows sauces and spices to penetrate deeply, making it ideal for quick cooking.
