Description
For more information, see Fish.
Usually packed in large bales of straw matting. If the squid is not properly dried out these bales often give off an offensive odour and may be subject to considerable losses in weight.
A mould growth is liable to form on the fish and is not easily removed.
Heavy claims are encountered when the dried squid comes into contact with water, as the fish tend to swell back to their normal size, and in this condition are readily attacked by maggots and vermin. The salvage value of damaged dried squid is very low.
