About SQUID INK

Squid ink is a dark, viscous liquid produced by certain species of squid and other cephalopods. It serves several purposes for these animals, including defence mechanisms, camouflage, and communication.

In culinary applications, squid ink is highly valued for its distinctive flavour, deep black colour, and versatility in various dishes. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, particularly in dishes like pasta, risotto, seafood stews, and sauces. Squid ink adds a rich, briny flavor and an aesthetically pleasing visual element to the dishes it is used in. It is important to note that squid ink is usually safe for consumption and is rich in minerals and antioxidants.

It’s always advisable to ensure the squid ink is sourced from reputable suppliers and prepared properly before use like it is at Ocean Jewels.

Buying Information

Upon delivery, your product will be ready for your enjoyment. Simply store in your refrigerator, allowing you the flexibility to use at your convenience.

If you have any specific requests or instructions regarding your order, we've got you covered. Simply provide these details in the NOTES section during the Checkout process. Whether you need us to be aware of a malfunctioning doorbell, require a phone call prior to delivery, or prefer to have the fillets or steaks vacuum packed separately or cut into smaller portions, just let us know. We're here to accommodate your preferences and ensure a seamless experience.

Sustainability

Squid ink can be sustainable when harvested responsibly and managed through sustainable fishing practices or aquaculture. It is important to ensure that squid populations are not depleted, that bycatch of other marine species is minimised, and that ecological impacts are considered.

Additionally, efforts should be made to reduce waste and utilise the entire squid during processing. Exploring alternative sources for cephalopod ink can also contribute to sustainability by diversifying the supply and reducing pressure on specific squid populations. By considering these factors, the production and use of squid ink can be more environmentally responsible and support the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems.

Ocean Jewels only sources sustainable sourced squid ink.
