Squid: Flavor and quality guaranteed for your table

Enjoy the Taste and Quality of Squid Selected with Care by Ferrer

At Ferrer, we offer superior quality squid, carefully selected so that it arrives at your table in the best conditions.

The squid, scientifically known as Loligo vulgaris, is a cephalopod mollusk highly prized for its culinary versatility and nutritional value. This fascinating marine inhabitant belongs to the Loliginidae family and is distinguished by its ten arms (eight short and two long), and its elongated and muscular body culminating in two triangular fins.

The squid is known for its silvery-gray color and its ability to mimic, which allows it to adapt to different marine environments. This mollusk lives at depths of up to 200 meters and approaches coastal waters during its breeding season, which runs from April to December.

From a nutritional point of view, squid is an excellent option for those seeking a balanced diet. Each 100 grams of squid provides 80 kcal, 17 grams of protein and only 1.3 grams of lipids. In addition, it is a rich source of minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, iodine and iron. Vitamins are not lacking either, with vitamin B12, niacin and vitamin E standing out. However, due to its high cholesterol content, it is not recommended for people with high cholesterol levels.

Squid is fished mainly in the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, using methods such as pots, trammel nets and trawls. Although it is available in the market all year round, the autumn and winter months are the most advisable for its consumption due to the freshness and abundance of catches.

At Ferrer, our commitment to quality is reflected in each of our products. We ensure that each squid meets the highest quality standards, guaranteeing a fresh and delicious product ideal for a variety of dishes. Whether fresh or frozen, Ferrer’s squid is a safe choice to enrich your meals with flavor and essential nutrients.

By choosing Ferrer squid, you are opting for a trusted product that ensures satisfaction and flavor in every bite. Discover the difference our dedication to quality makes and enjoy excellence at your table with every squid we offer.

Shrimp: Characteristics, habitat and nutritional value

Exploring the World of Shrimp

The prawn, scientifically known as Penaeus kerathurus, is a decapod crustacean that shares similarities with the shrimp and prawn, belonging to the Penaeidae family. This exquisite seafood, with its laterally compressed body and pronounced tail, is highly prized in gastronomy for its delicious flavor and versatility in the kitchen. One of the distinctive characteristics of the crayfish is sexual dimorphism. Males exhibit a light color with pink bands on the abdomen, while females show yellow-green tones with brown bands, often edged in red. Their size can vary between 8 and 25 cm in length, with the largest specimens being the most valued on the market.

As for its habitat, the crayfish lives in sandy bottoms, mainly between 5 and 90 meters deep, although it is more common to find it from 20 meters. It feeds on a variety of marine organisms, including molluscs, worms and algae. Although its main distribution spans the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it is found in seas all over the world, and is also cultivated in coastal areas to meet growing market demand. The fishing gears used to catch the crayfish are capture, gillnetting, and traps and traps.

In addition to its exquisite taste, shrimp is an excellent source of essential nutrients. Rich in protein and low in calories due to its low fat content, it is an ideal choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. It stands out for its contribution of iodine, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and vitamins B12 and B3. However, it is important to take into account the relatively high content of cholesterol in special diets.
