Illex Squid (Illex illecebrosus )

Illex Squid are a short lived fish. They can regulate their body color but are usually an orange color with a brown stripe along the top side of the mantle. They are a mild and subtle sweet flavored fish. IIlex are a phenomenal bait as many wild predators such as tuna, striped bass, chilean sea bass and many more fish predate these squid naturally. They withstand the hook test and never fail to produce.

The fishing season for Illex Squid runs from the middle of may to mid-September. Our boats are able to catch a large quota which allows us to keep you supplied all year!

We are currently able to offer squid in 1Lb boxes, 5Lb boxes, Custom Vacuum packed sizes, and 44.10Lbs Flats.  Our squid is packed for either food grade or bait grade.
