In Japanese culinary and seafood markets, Mongo Ika (紋甲イカ) is a broad commercial term used for thick-fleshed cuttlefish favored for sushi and sashimi because of their firm, tender texture and natural sweetness. While imported Sepia officinalis (often sourced from European or North African waters) is widely sold under the Mongo Ika label, the term is also used in Japan to refer to other large cuttlefish species, such as Sepiella japonica (Japanese spineless cuttlefish) or Sepia pharaonis (Pharaoh cuttlefish).
Frozen items are shipped with dry ice to ensure the arrive fully frozen. Please place them directly into your freezer upon arrival.
If you order fresh and frozen items together, we package your shipment using gel ice packs instead of dry ice to protect your fresh goods. As a result, frozen items may partially thaw during transit. You can safely place them straight back into your freezer, or allow them to finish defrosting and enjoy right away.
Defrosting Guidelines
- Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
- Cold Water Bowl: Submerge sealed items in cold water for a faster thaw.
- Note: Do not use hot water or attempt to thaw by cooking, as this ruins the natural texture and flavor.
