Firefly Squid (300g Tray) from Tokyo’s renowned Toyosu Fish Market

Each order includes one 300g tray of pre-cooked firefly squid—a seasonal specialty sourced from Japan. Small in size and intensely flavorful, they are commonly used in lightly prepared applications. About 6 gram for each squid. They come whole / not cleaned and are intended to be serve whole. 

Prized for their natural sweetness, deep umami, and delicate texture, firefly squid are a standout in Japanese cuisine. They're often featured in sushi, sashimi, or simply marinated to let their flavor shine with minimal intervention.

Culinary Notes:

• Flavor: Mildly sweet and savory with deep umami.

• Texture: Tender with a soft pop.

• Best Uses: Sashimi, sushi, lightly blanched, or marinated in citrus and soy.
