Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Cuttlefish are important cephalopods in UK/Irish waters, primarily caught in the English Channel and Celtic Sea. Valued for their tender flesh, they contribute significantly to local fisheries.
Peak season for Cuttlefish in the UK is typically late summer to autumn (July-November), offering the best quality and availability for sourcing.
UK Cuttlefish stocks are generally considered healthy, with some fisheries undergoing assessment. Buyers should seek advice on specific stock status and responsible sourcing.
Highly versatile, Cuttlefish is popular in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. It's excellent grilled, fried, or stewed, often used for calamari-style dishes or ink.
Key landing ports include those in the South West of England. A significant portion of the UK catch is exported, particularly to Southern European markets.
