Ika is prized for its chewy texture and delicate flavour. Fresh squid features a moist texture and flexible firmness, with a subtle sweetness that emerges with each bite. Depending on the species, squid is primarily in season during the summer, when the freshest and most delicious specimens are available. It can be enjoyed prepared various ways, such as chopped and mixed with condiments for sashimi, or lightly seared to enhance its flavour. Due to its low fat content and light taste, squid pairs well with other sushi toppings and never becomes tiresome.
