Why it matters

Visitors eat this squid on the island and carry it home as a gift. A 16 September 2025 study still lists dried squid among the island’s dried seafood.

Texture

It is dried one sun on a grid so the outside dries and the inside stays raw. Mực lá, mực cơm, and mực ghim are not the squid they dry, and the smallest grade is eaten fresh.

Taste

Squid dried the day it is caught is what makes this plate sweet.

How to enjoy it

Grill it, or take it as the gift the 7 July 2014 note describes.

On the 7 July 2014 note the main seasons were vụ Nam, June to September, and vụ Bắc, December to April. Winter drying then used squid bought off Quảng Ngãi boats and was not as good. Confirm the seasons on the boat day.
