Processing of Squid into fresh and frozen products
The processing of squid at Neerlandia is deliberately simple and focused on maintaining quality. The squid is sorted on arrival, checked for freshness and immediately frozen or delivered fresh. Neerlandia supplies only whole squid, in both fresh and frozen form, depending on customer requirements and the origin of the product. Keeping the product as natural as possible preserves its culinary versatility and allows customers to choose how to process the squid. This approach fits well with both the catering industry and specialized fish processors who have high demands for raw material quality.
Import of Fresh Squid Fish to the Netherlands
Neerlandia imports various species of squid, including calamari, squid and cuttlefish, from sustainable fishing areas such as the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean and South America. The squid is often imported frozen, in the form of a whole squid (whole round). Thanks to long-term partnerships with international suppliers, Neerlandia can count on consistent quality and traceable origins, with increasing attention paid to sustainable fishing methods and certification.

Squid is a popular product in Southern European and Asian markets, and Neerlandia exports to countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and South Korea. Demand is also growing within Northern and Western Europe, thanks in part to the popularity of dishes such as calamari, paella and seafood pastas. A wide range and flexible product forms allow Neerlandia to respond to diverse customer needs, with both foodservice packaging and retail-ready products. The combination of quality, convenience and reliability makes Neerlandia a valued export partner for squid.
