Squid

Squid is a versatile seafood used across Mediterranean and East Asian cuisines, commonly served grilled, stir-fried or lightly battered and fried as calamari. It is prized for a mild flavor and tender texture that pairs well with bold sauces and spices. A lean source of animal protein, Squid provides about 15.6g of protein per 100g and supplies important micronutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium and iodine that support nerve function and thyroid health. It is low in total and saturated fat when prepared without heavy batter or frying. Nutritionally, Squid is valued for its high-quality protein and mineral content, making it a good choice when you want a nutrient-dense seafood option; just prefer grilling, baking or quick stir-frying over deep-frying to keep it at its healthiest.
