     "Great with fish, shrimp, or any kind of seafood" $6.99 $116,500.00/kg Incl. 0% Tax, excl. shipping
    Fish Allrounder
  • 1
    medium onion
  • 3 cloves
    garlic, divided
  • 8
    squid, cleaned (including tentacles; frozen squid can be used if fresh is unavailable)
  • 2 slices
    white bread
  • 1 tbsp
    olive oil
  • 2 stalks
    celery
  • 1
    large carrot
  • 1
    fennel bulb (optional)
  • 1 cup
    dry white wine
  • 1 cup
    fish or vegetable broth
  • toothpicks for sealing

Directions

1
Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and mince two of the garlic cloves. Finely slice the squid tentacles.
2
Chop the celery and carrot into small cubes.
3
If using, cut the fennel bulb into slices about ½ inch thick and set aside.
4
Remove the crusts from the bread and cut it into small cubes, then set aside.
5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent.
6
Add the chopped carrot, celery, and squid tentacles, stir-frying for around 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
7
Stir in the bread cubes and season the mixture with Fish Allrounder seasoning. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
8
Fill each cleaned squid body with the vegetable and tentacle mixture, being careful not to overfill. Secure the opening with a toothpick to prevent the stuffing from coming out.
9
In the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed squid and fry them briefly on all sides until golden.
10
Peel the remaining garlic clove and slice it thinly. Add it to the pan and fry for an additional minute.
11
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, allowing it to reduce slightly. Then add the fish or vegetable broth and the fennel slices, if using. Cover the pan and let the squid simmer gently for around 20–25 minutes over medium heat, until tender.
12
Serve the stuffed squid with the garlic and white wine sauce, garnished with fennel if desired. This dish makes for an impressive main course, perfect for a special dinner.

Tips for Buying Squid

Selecting the right squid is essential for a delicious dish. Squid is typically available at your local fish counter in supermarkets or seafood markets. Look for squid that has a glossy, translucent appearance with firm and plump bodies. The texture should be slightly rubbery, indicating freshness. Avoid any squid with discoloration, slimy spots, or a strong fishy odor; instead, choose squid that has a mild, ocean-like scent. If fresh squid isn’t available, high-quality frozen squid can be a great alternative. Don’t hesitate to ask the fishmonger for assistance in selecting and preparing your squid to ensure the best results for your stuffed squid recipe.
