Calamari: A unique mollusc in Mediterranean waters

The squid is a mollusc, of the species Loligo vulgaris. Although it does not have a shell like other molluscs, it has an internal shell as a skeleton where all its muscles are attached, which allows it to move with agility.

This beach mollusc can reach up to 60 centimetres in length and usually lives close to the coast, at depths of 15 to 600 metres. Although it is solitary by nature, it can sometimes group with other specimens to facilitate hunting and feeding.

It has a great taste, a high protein content and health benefits. To get the most out of squid, it is vital to select fresh, quality squid.
