Explore the Unique Flavour of Squid at Jarvis
Squid – Regular Price £9.50
At Jarvis the Fishmonger, our carefully sourced squid brings a real sense of variety to your cooking and is a great ingredient to have on hand when you want something a little different. Squid has a long history in cuisines around the world thanks to its tender bite and distinctive flavour - subtly sweet with a hint of nuttiness - especially when it’s paired with citrus, garlic, chilli, or a tangy dipping sauce.
We believe what makes a great local fishmonger is sourcing well, handling seafood properly, and giving customers the confidence to cook it at home. If you’re wondering how to buy great squid, freshness and preparation are everything: squid should smell clean and sea-fresh, look glossy and moist, and be handled with care so it stays tender when cooked. Squid from the clear waters off South West England’s coast is particularly prized, and we aim to have your order ready for collection or delivery within 2 - 4 days so you receive it in top condition.
