Cooking

Begin by thoroughly defrosting your calamari portion. In a large pan, melt some butter and olive oil together. Pan Fry the calamari for about 5-minutes, until the calamari has firmed up. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. To serve, garnish your dish with some parsley and enjoy!

Grilling or frying Calamari is recommended, although boiling, sautéing or even braising are alternative cooking methods to explore.

Sustainability

Our squid is caught off the coast of New Zealand. New Zealand fish industries are held to a strict quota management system ensuring that the squid are not overfished in their local environment.

Loligo Squid have a short lifespan and rapid growth. They generally live for one year, spawn once and then die.

Arrow squid is managed by Fisheries New Zealand (FNZ) using the Quota Management System (QMS). FNZ works in partnership with Deepwater Group (a not for profit organisation that works on behalf of fisheries quota owners) to manage and monitor the fishery. The risk assessment covers nearly 100% of all squid caught in New Zealand.
