Seiche — European Cuttlefish (France)

Description

Seiche (Sepia officinalis) — European cuttlefish — is a highly valued cephalopod harvested from the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters surrounding France. Known for its firm yet tender texture and mild ocean flavor, cuttlefish is widely used in Mediterranean, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese seafood cuisine.

This product is supplied by Lequertier Marée, a Normandy-based seafood specialist recognized for processing a wide range of fish, shellfish, and cephalopods for professional seafood markets. Their products are handled daily for restaurants, seafood distributors, and wholesale markets across France and international destinations.

Cuttlefish is appreciated by chefs for its versatility and distinctive culinary uses. The mantle can be grilled, braised, or sliced for seafood dishes, while the natural ink is traditionally used in sauces and risotto preparations. In many cuisines, cuttlefish is valued for its ability to absorb flavors while maintaining a delicate seafood character.

Through BeeBridge, these products are consolidated at our European export warehouse in France and prepared for international distribution to seafood importers, distributors, and hospitality buyers in Japan, Taiwan, and North America.
