About this item

Cuttlefish dried in clean air rather than force-dried, which is slower but leaves a firmer body and a deeper savoury flavour. Each one is cleaned before drying, then packed in a tight vacuum pack so it travels without picking up moisture. Soak it in clean water until it softens, then slice it into strips: simmer it for a broth with mushrooms and kelp, stir-fry it with celery and chilli, or grill the strips briefly and serve them warm as a snack. The flavour is concentrated and saline, closer to a stock ingredient than to fresh squid, so a little goes a long way in a soup.
