How people cook with it
This canned seafood is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in various dishes.
- As a topping for toast

To prepare, simply open the can and drain any excess liquid if desired, though many prefer to use the sauce as is. The squid can be gently heated in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.

For a quick appetizer, serve warm atop toasted baguette slices with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Unlike fresh or frozen squid, this canned version is already cooked and preserved in sauce, offering unparalleled convenience. The texture is softer than freshly cooked squid, and the sauce provides a pre-made flavor base that eliminates the need for additional seasoning.
