Doryteuthis opalescens (formerly Loligo opalescens)
Also known as California Market Squid, Pacific Loligo
Market squid is a treat for us living near Monterey Bay. Usually pre-frozen, squid is delicious fried up as calamari, thrown on the grill, or tossed into a pasta. Believe it or not, squid can also be eaten raw and is delicious! Fun fact: squid are harvested at night using bright lights that attract the squid to the ocean surface. If you spot boats lighting up Monterey Bay in the evenings, you’re likely witnessing squid vessels at work!
Sustainability status for this species is published by NOAA Fisheries.
Safe to eat raw?
Yes! Though rarer to find squid served raw, it’s delicious on its own or in ceviche if the squid is super fresh. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
How to cook
Raw, fry, saute, steam, braise
Fresh Cleaned Squid season
Squid is available year-round, but the fishing effort is concentrated April - September when upwelling occurs the most off of Monterey Bay.
