Seafood products are made from squid by cleaning a squid by removing arms and tentacles from the squid; removing visceral content from the squid; steam cooking the squid; reducing the moisture content of the squid to between 40% by weight and 72% by weight; and shredding the squid after the step of reducing the moisture content. The shredded squid can be treated with marinades for flavor enhancement to create a variety of world cuisine tastes. The product is ready to serve without further cooking.
