Calamari Tentacles 800g

Calamari tentacles are the part most people haven't tried, and the part they wish they'd discovered sooner. More flavour than the rings, better texture than the tubes, and they crisp up beautifully in a hot pan or fryer. 800g per pack, delivered within 12–48 hours.

Serving Suggestions

Deep fry in seasoned batter until golden and crispy — serve with lemon and a chilli dipping sauce. Toss in a hot pan with garlic, olive oil, and chilli for a quick Portuguese-style prego. Add to a seafood potjie or paella where they soak up the broth and add real depth. Or braai over high heat with a squeeze of lemon — charred tentacles are something else entirely.
