Jumbo squid rings: what they are and why they work
In the trade, squid rings are rings cut from the mantle of large cephalopods. Ours come from Pacific jumbo flying squid, Dosidicus gigas, also known as Humboldt squid, and we say so openly.
Jumbo squid has a large, thick mantle, which yields uniform rings with good thickness and a very high yield. It is the most widely used raw material in the world for this format because it offers consistent cutting and a very competitive quality-to-price ratio for professional buyers.
Cut raw and ready to cook
The rings are cut raw and frozen, without batter or breading, in a 1 kg format. The chef decides the finish: battered, floured, griddled or stewed. With no coating, the product works just as well for frying as for dishes in sauce.
Ring diameter, packing and glazing can be adjusted to each customer's specification; tell us what you need. If your kitchen also works with strips, our raw-cut cuttlefish strips follow the same ready-to-use approach.
A foodservice staple with steady supply
Squid rings are one of the fastest-moving products in bars, restaurants, catering and central kitchens. Buying them frozen from a wholesaler makes purchasing predictable and keeps quality consistent all year round.

Frequently asked questions
Are the squid rings made from squid or jumbo squid?
They are made from jumbo flying squid (Dosidicus gigas), a member of the squid family used worldwide for this format thanks to its thick mantle, consistent cut and high yield.
Are the squid rings battered?
No. They are supplied raw-cut and uncoated, so each kitchen can choose the finish: battered, floured, griddled or stewed.
What format do the frozen squid rings come in?
We work with a 1 kg format. Packing, glazing and ring diameter can be adjusted to each customer's specification: contact us through the form on this page.
How should squid rings be thawed before frying?
Ideally thaw them in the refrigerator at 0–4 °C, drain them well and pat them dry before coating. The batter stays crisp and the oil does not spit. Do not refreeze.
