What is this product?
This is cleaned frozen Indo-Pacific cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis, in IQF format and U/1 size grade. It is supplied unglazed in a documented 4.8 kg carton, ready for professional kitchens to thaw and cook according to the planned preparation.
Supplier and format
The product is made by Amulya Sea Foods in India and is distributed in the Swiss market through the documented foodservice supply chain. The format is one carton of 4.8 kg without glazing, which gives the receiving team a clear frozen unit for stock planning.
Technical specification and allergens
The documented ingredients are Indo-Pacific cuttlefish, a mollusc, with acidity regulators E330 and E331. The size grade is U/1, the state is frozen IQF and the net weight is 4.8 kg without glazing. The product therefore requires mollusc allergen control in the professional kitchen.
Product profile and preparation
Cleaning and IQF freezing make individual pieces easier to separate for planned production after thawing. The cuttlefish has a neutral seafood role that can carry sauces, rice, pasta preparations and grill flavours without adding unnecessary seasoning before the recipe is built.
Professional uses and dosing
Use the cuttlefish for risottos, pasta dishes and grilled preparations. Thaw the quantity required by the recipe, portion it according to the menu and cook it before service. Keep the remaining frozen stock closed and return only the amount not yet in production to the freezer promptly.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not cook the product while it is still frozen if the recipe requires thawing, mix thawed and frozen pieces in one batch or refreeze it after thawing. Avoid leaving seafood at room temperature, ignoring the mollusc allergen or adding it to a clean station without separation.
Storage and thawing
Store the carton at -18°C. Once thawed, do not refreeze. The current product information requires consumption after cooking within 24 hours of thawing. Defrost under controlled refrigerated conditions and follow the label for handling, cooking and date guidance.
