Processing of Whole Squid into fresh and frozen products

The processing of squid at Fjordpol is deliberately simple and focused on maintaining quality. The squid is sorted on arrival, checked for freshness and immediately frozen or delivered fresh. Fjordpol supplies only whole squid, in both fresh and frozen form, depending on customer requirements and the origin of the product. Keeping the product as natural as possible preserves its culinary versatility and allows customers to choose how to process the squid. This approach fits well with both the catering industry and specialized fish processors who have high demands for raw material quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about Squid

Squids are predators. They eat:

  • Small fish
  • Shrimp and crabs
  • Other mollusks
  • Sometimes smaller cuttlefish

With their tentacles, they grab their prey and use their beak to bite it into pieces.

Squid usually live in the middle water layers or near the sea floor. They are good swimmers, moving with their fins or shooting away quickly by squirting water from their mantle (jet propulsion). They often hide during the day and go hunting at night.

Squid: Long body, 8 arms + 2 trailing arms, often with fins.

Octopus: Round body, only 8 arms, no fins. Squids usually live free in the water, while octopuses hide on the bottom.

Squids are caught with:

  • Trawl nets
  • Lines with decoy lights (for species that gravitate to light)
  • Handlines or pots in some areas

The catch occurs mainly at night when they are actively hunting.

Yes, squid is a lean protein source. Per 100 grams, it contains:

  • Little fat, some cholesterol
  • Vitamins B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids
  • ± 70–90 kcal
  • 15–18 g protein

Note: Deep-fried squid (such as calamari) contains more fat.

Well-known species include:

  • Squid (Loligo vulgaris)
  • Giant squid (Architeuthis dux)
  • Deep-sea squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni)
  • Humboldt squid
  • Sepias (sepiolas) — related to squids but shorter and flatter

Squid is the species we eat most often.

Squids use:

  • Rapid flight: jet propulsion to shoot away quickly
  • Ink clouds: to confuse predators
  • Camouflage: chromatophores change color and pattern instantly

Popular dishes include:

  • Japanese takoyaki: dough balls with pieces of squid
  • Calamari fritti: deep-fried squid rings
  • Grilled squid with lemon and garlic
  • Risotto nero: rice with squid sauce and ink
  • Stuffed squid with vegetables or rice

Squids reproduce by laying eggs. The male passes sperm with a special arm, and the female lays hundreds to thousands of eggs in clumps on rocks or the sea bottom. Many species die shortly after reproduction.
