Buying advice

Look for dried squid with a pleasant natural aroma and chewy, not rock-hard, texture. Check the ingredient list for excessive salt or preservatives. Korean and Japanese brands are often preferred for snacking; whole bodies are better for cooking. Price per ounce can vary, so compare sizes. If you prefer less fishy taste, opt for roasted or seasoned varieties.
