Cuttlefish is a cephalopod, closely related to squid and octopus, commonly found in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. It’s prized for its dense, meaty texture and ability to absorb flavours beautifully. Unlike squid, cuttlefish offers a slightly richer taste and a more substantial bite, making it a favourite in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines.
Cuttlefish is a lean source of high-quality protein, rich in vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and immune defence.
Cooking Tips- Grill whole with garlic and lemon, slice into rings for stir-fries, or stuff and bake with herbs and breadcrumbs for a Mediterranean twist.
