lady jane Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 its time to stock up the freezer with squid. can anybody advise where to buy in bulk and prices. thanks andy Quote
Paul D Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 I get mine from Talbot Frozen Foods in Christchurch - last time I got some ( just before christmas ) it was a box of 12 at Quote
Mike Fox Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 I tried the "japonica" mini-squid from Wessex Angling (Poole) last summer. Typical angling shop prices, but no waste, and a whole one on a No4 fine wire bumped on the drift seemed to sort out the larger bream nicely. Mike Quote
britboard Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Andy, I always go to my local Chinese supermarket for squid (Hoo-Hings on the north circular) i think they are nationwide, but can't be sure? they sell it in 1, 5, 10, 15 & 20kg blocks to the resturant trade and its about 50% cheaper than i could find it elsewhere. Its probably looking in the yellows for one near you, i only found this one by accident whilst being dragging around Ikea on a sunday afternoon by my good lady. Simon Quote
Newboy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 No need to stock up yet, traditionally prices don't go up till autume. Not to mention we don't use that much squid during spring, breams need only a stripe, a 1 lb block will last you a whole session. Summer are mackeral time, only when it's codding time you need lots of squids. Quote
lady jane Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 much prefer to shop once a year !!!! thanks for your ideas andy Quote
Newboy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Hoo Hing has another branch near Mitcham and one somewhere in East London. There's Wing Yip as well as See Woo which have branches thru out London, but not down here. Paul's probably best bet, get a box of 1lb squid from frozen seafood suppliers (prawnman). If the angling shop runs out of squid by any chance, go to Wah Hing in Boscombe or Didcot Ind Est, they have both 1 and 5 lb block for sale. In Southampton try Yau's brothers near St Mary. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 If your in Poole you could try Seafresh sea foods of Hamworthy tel: 621625 Prices will depend on quantity but as a club we have got squid between Quote
