Cuttlefish, Giant Squid
Dosidicus gigas
The jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a key component of Chilean artisanal fishing.
At Vaguada, we select this cephalopod, caught using jigging nets (a selective and manual method), which guarantees that the meat retains its integrity and whiteness, delivering a product with a firm texture and mild flavor, ready to transform your dishes.

Its meat is dense and elastic, allowing for a wide variety of cuts, from cubes for stews to thin slices for quick preparations.

Raw
An economical and delicious alternative, where the key is a brief pre-cooking to achieve the ideal texture.
Baked
Its firmness makes it perfect for long cooking times, where it absorbs the flavors of the sofrito and cream, while remaining tender.
Grilled
Cut into thin pieces and seared over high heat with paprika, garlic and olive oil.
Preparation Suggestions
It is one of the leanest sources of protein from the sea, low in fat and high in minerals, ideal for those seeking a balanced diet without sacrificing satiety.
