Giant Squid

Morubel Giant Squid

Giant squid or Humboldt squid

Dosidicus gigas

Ommastrephidae

Giant squid can measure up to two meters (mantle). Fishermen gave them the nickname ‘red devil’ because they are very aggressive. They can be found from Tierra del Fuego till California, but sometimes even occur in Alaska. We offer rings, buttons or stripes, which are a popular ingredient in many seafood mixes.
