Lauren Bay Squid is 100% American, locally harvested off the coast of Rhode Island. This is the renowned Loligo pealeii species—considered the world’s premier squid for its naturally tender texture, pure white flesh, and refreshingly sweet flavor.

Sustainably harvested using midwater trawls and floating fish traps, Loligo is also popular among recreational fishermen who often use a method called jigging—where bright lights attract squid to jigs, entangling them by the tentacles.
