Semi Dried Black Squid is one of Vietnam’s most popular value-added dried seafood products, known for its balanced moisture level, chewy texture, and rich umami flavor. Made from carefully selected black squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis), this product is widely consumed across Asia and international markets, especially in Korea, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Thanks to its semi-dried processing method, Semi Dried Black Squid offers the perfect balance between freshness and shelf life, making it an ideal choice for importers, distributors, wholesalers, and food service buyers.
Semi Dried Black Squid is produced by partially removing moisture from fresh squid under controlled conditions. Unlike fully dried squid, the semi-dried form retains more natural softness, elasticity, and aroma, resulting in a superior eating experience.
This product is highly suitable for grilling, pan-frying, shredding, and seasoning, and is commonly used in restaurants, street food, and retail snack segments.
