Quote:Market squid is an important international commodity with the majority of the export product being frozen and shipped to China, Japan, and Europe for human consumption. In 2006, 46 percent of the catch landed was exported for a value of $28.8 million. Domestically, market squid is canned or used fresh for human consumption, and is increasingly used live and frozen as bait by recreational fishermen.
