Import Giant Squid Tentacles, Tubes — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in China

This listing covers frozen giant squid tentacles and tubes, offered by Alan, a China-based supplier with processing, cold storage, and export capabilities. The products are sourced from Chinese global fishing fleets and state-owned importers with long-standing import arrangements from ASEAN and Africa. Alan provides a full range of squid parts, including tentacles, tubes, wings, necks, fillets, and whole squid, as well as processed shapes like rings, squared pieces, and flower-shaped cuts tailored to buyer requirements.

Giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) is typically processed as frozen at sea to preserve texture and freshness. Tentacles and tubes are common cuts, with tubes often used for rings or other value-added shapes. The species is known for its firm, slightly chewy texture and mild flavour, making it suitable for grilling, frying, or use in salads and stews. Typical industry standards for frozen squid include a moisture content of 78-82%, a broken percentage below 5% for whole tubes, and a foreign matter limit of 0.1% by weight, with sorting often performed using Sortex optical graders.

Importers of these products include seafood distributors, processors, and retail chains in markets such as Thailand and Taiwan. Alan’s supply chain benefits from tax rebates and lower operating costs, enabling competitive pricing for bulk orders. The supplier offers flexibility in processing and packaging to match local market preferences, with options for custom shapes and cuts. Buyers should confirm packaging formats, such as 10 kg or 20 kg cartons, and whether the product is individually quick frozen (IQF) or block frozen, as this affects handling and thawing requirements.

Alan operates from Shijiazhuang City in Hebei Province, China, specialising in the import, processing, cold storage, and export of squid products. The supplier’s business model covers the entire supply chain, from sourcing raw material through global fishing fleets and state-owned importers to delivering processed products to international buyers. Alan’s focus is on giant squid, with a stable and lower-cost supply chain that supports competitive pricing for bulk orders.

The supplier has experience serving importers in Thailand, Taiwan, and other markets, offering tax rebates as part of its pricing advantage. Alan provides flexibility in processing, including custom cuts and shapes to meet specific market demands. However, the supplier’s profile does not disclose response rates or verification signals, so buyers should confirm operational details directly. The supplier’s strength lies in its ability to handle large volumes and adapt processing to buyer needs.
