Squid is a popular marine seafood known for its mild flavor and unique texture that turns tender when cooked quickly and remains satisfying in slow dishes. Its neutral taste absorbs marinades and spices easily, making it suitable for a wide range of cuisines, from pan-fried starters to comforting rice and noodle dishes.

Carefully sourced from clean marine waters, squid is widely used in UAE households for both everyday cooking and restaurant-style meals at home. It is valued not only for taste but also for its lean nutritional profile, offering high-quality protein with minimal fat.
