The wild waters of the North Atlantic are nutrient rich and prolific, and squid populations are at healthy levels. These very sustainable, highly nutritious, low-fat, high-protein, and wild cephalopods are sweet, mild, and ocean-fresh in flavor. The texture is tender when marinated and cooked hot and fast, and very firm when grilled.
