For many restaurants, especially Italian applications, a larger calamari has been the standard bearer for many years. The Town Dock is pleased to offer this classic-style calamari for our frozen foodservice customers, with the high quality you expect from our wholesale squid products.
Compared to our Fully Cleaned Calamari, the Classic Calamari line is larger: bigger tubes and thicker walls. Many foodservice operators prefer it for its exceptional plate coverage. Our quality teams and overseas partners ensure that the texture remains tender, never rubbery. Wholesale customers looking for Argentine Shortfin Squid (often called Argentine illex) and similar size and texture will be pleased with our Classic Calamari.
Our teams have carefully curated a collection of imported squid species for this product line and enforce a tight specification for all of our processing partners overseas. The result is the best of both worlds: a consistent flavor, texture, and size, as well as uninterrupted, year-round availability. Plus, our overseas seafood is imported under our Ethical Supply Chain policy. Click this sentence to read more about this policy on our Commitments page.
Classic Calamari is priced for volume and with The Town Dock's higher standards, it will continue to be a top choice for years to come.
We're proud to offer our Imported Classic Calamari in multiple packaging options!
Our imported calamari is packed in different formats to meet the unique needs of different professional and home kitchens:
2.5 pound block frozen bags, packed in a 10 pound case - the standard for most foodservice operations.
10 pounds, ready-to-cook, packed in plastic rounds or foam coolers - ideal for quick turn around, smaller orders, and to save time, space, and labor to slack out the seafood.
8 ounce pre-portioned bags in a 10 pound master case - a good option for quick thawing and operations who need tight control on portions and margins.
