squid

Squid is a mollusc that lives in the ocean and is used in cuisine around the world. It is a particularly popular seafood in Asia.

Squid is enjoyed raw as sashimi when fresh, and as a snack when dried. In Korea, it is especially loved in various dishes such as squid rice bowls, stir-fries, and fried squid.

Squid are known to be intelligent marine animals and have the ability to change their color freely. Recently, scientific research utilizing these characteristics has been actively conducted.

Squid plays an important role in food culture, with squid festivals held in places like Pohang, Korea and Hakodate, Japan. In particular, enjoying 'fried squid' at baseball stadiums has become a unique aspect of Korean sports culture.
