Pharaoh Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis), commonly referred to in trade as Sepia, is a commercially important cuttlefish species widely exported from the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific region in frozen form. It is valued for its thick, tender flesh, clean white appearance, and mild, slightly sweet marine flavor.
The cuttlefish is processed under hygienic conditions and frozen shortly after harvest to preserve its natural texture, appearance, and eating quality after thawing. Its uniform body structure, high flesh yield, and consistent performance make Sepia pharaonis a highly versatile product suitable for a wide range of culinary applications and further processing.
