Useful Tips

• Squids are very healthy seafood. They contain a large amount of protein (per 100 g of meat - 20 g of high-quality natural protein), very few fats and carbohydrates, and are well absorbed.
• For quality canned squid products, the shelf life should not exceed 15 months, and the percentage of meat content should be at least 50.
• Canned squid is a ready-to-eat product. It is only necessary to well track them from the liquid and cut into pieces of the desired shape and size.
• Pieces of canned squid should be cream, white or light pink. An earthy, gray color indicates that there were irregularities in the process, or canned food was prepared from frozen raw materials.
• Slices of canned squid are quite dense, but not hard, easily cut, but do not fall apart and do not stratify into fibers.
• You can replace canned squid with freshly frozen. Although their processing and preparation will take much longer, the result will please you.
• If you take fresh-frozen squids, remember that you first need to defrost them in the refrigerator, remove the chord and the rest of the entrails. The purified squid is dipped in boiling water, where salt and spices have already been added, and boiled for 1-2 minutes. Long-term heat treatment makes this seafood tough, "rubber".
