Product Description
Frozen Squid Flower is a beautifully processed squid product where the squid tube is skillfully scored and cut into decorative flower-like patterns. This value-added product is ready to cook, saving preparation time in commercial kitchens while delivering an elegant presentation that delights diners. It is one of the most popular processed squid products in restaurants, hotels, and food service establishments worldwide.
At Poseidon Seafood, our squid flower is produced from carefully selected whole squid that is cleaned, trimmed, and expertly scored by skilled workers at our HACCP-certified processing facilities in Ningbo, China. Each piece undergoes IQF (Individual Quick Frozen) treatment immediately after processing, ensuring the delicate flower pattern is preserved and the texture remains firm and succulent after thawing.
With 18 years of frozen seafood export experience, we understand the exacting standards required by our international buyers. Our quality control team inspects every production batch for pattern consistency, color, size uniformity, and freshness before approval for shipment.
