Japanese Karaage Squid Tentacles

Squid tentacles cut into pieces, marinated Japanese karaage style and coated in their batter, frozen ready for the fryer.

Karaage seasoning is what separates this from ordinary fried squid: the tentacles are marinated before coating, so the flavour is in the squid rather than sitting on the crust. They fry up golden and crisp outside while the tentacles keep their springy, satisfying chew.

Why Choose Our Karaage Squid?

• Marinated, not just battered: seasoned through in the Japanese karaage style before the coating goes on.
• Prepared and cut: tentacles already portioned and coated — no cleaning, no mess.
• Crisp outside, springy inside: the textural contrast that makes tentacles better than rings.
• Fast: frozen to plate in about four minutes.

Cooking Methods:

• Deep fried: 175°C for 3-4 minutes from frozen, until golden. Fry in batches to keep the oil hot.
• Air fryer: spray lightly with oil, 200°C for 10 minutes, shaking the basket once.
• Finish with: salt and pepper seasoning, a squeeze of lemon, or Japanese mayonnaise.
• Serve as: a beer snack, a share plate, or over rice with shredded cabbage.

Storage:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Cook from frozen — do not thaw first, as the coating softens. Do not refreeze.
