Our hardworking fishermen
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!

Our market squid is typically frozen soon after it's caught to lock in freshness and flavor. Did you know? The method used to catch these squids is quite unique – fishermen gather them at night by shining bright lights over the water, which lures the squid up to the surface. So if you ever see boats lit up like Christmas trees on Monterey Bay in the evening, there's a good chance they're catching the delicious squid that might just end up on your dining table. Add a bit of Monterey Bay's charm to your cooking with our delightful squid!
