The waters of the North Pacific are nutrient rich and prolific, and squid populations are at healthy levels. These very sustainable, highly nutritious, low-fat, high-protein, and wild cephalopods are sweet, mild, and ocean-fresh in flavor. The texture will range from tender (if marinated and cooked hot and fast) to firm and rubbery (if grilled).
