Premium Cuttlefish from the Bangladesh Ocean

Cuttlefish or cuttles are marine molluscs of the order Sepiida. Cuttlefish is a cephalopod, a marine mollusk with a unique internal calcified shell commonly known as a cuttlebone, related to squid and octopus. Cuttlefish is popular as a restaurant dish all over the world, in East Asia dried cuttlefish is highly popular.

BD Shrimp presents cuttlefish perfectly cleaned in various sizes with the black ink used in pasta dishes and risotto. The meat of the cuttlefish has a meatier texture than squid and also sweeter in flavor. Chefs much love ink for its rich, seaweedy flavor and its tar-black glossiness. Spanish cuisine often uses cuttlefish and squid ink for cooking due to the marine flavor and smoothness that it provides to the meals and it is included in dishes such as rice, pasta and fish stews.

They have eight arms, two tentacles and three hearts! Cuttlefish are used by man as food, as a source of ink, and for the cuttlebone, a dietary supplement providing calcium for cage birds.
