Loligo Squid

Uroteuthis Duvaucelii belongs to the family Loliginidae, which encompasses several species of squids commonly known for their elongated bodies and significant ecological and economic roles in marine environments.

The Loligo squid, or Uroteuthis Duvaucelii, has its origins in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific. It was first described scientifically in the early 19th century and has since been a critical species for both local and commercial fisheries. The species has adapted well to various environmental conditions, allowing it to thrive in coastal areas where it is commonly found today.

Loligo squid is highly prized for its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour. It is a versatile ingredient in many cuisines, especially in Asian dishes where it is commonly grilled, stir-fried, or used in soups and salads.

The squid's ability to absorb flavours from sauces and seasonings makes it a popular choice in culinary applications worldwide.
