MOLLUSCS AND CEPHALOPODS

The molluscs and cephalopods family groups the most versatile references in the catalogue: controlled-culture pieces in Patagonia + Aysén—fjord mytilids—together with artisanal catches.

Patagonian octopuses (Enteroctopus megalocyathus) are caught artisanally in Aysén and Magallanes. The giant squid or jibia (Dosidicus gigas), caught in Chilean waters, is processed on-site for global industrial markets.

Its growth in cold, deep waters gives it a firmer texture and more concentrated flavour, valued by high-end Asian and Mediterranean cuisines.

Each product reaches the importer with the same level of documentation and traceability as the rest of the Mar Austral Origin portfolio.

Culture centres operate under Sernapesca certification and client audits; catches respect quotas from the Fisheries Under-Secretariat. The cold chain is documented from the catch centre or quadrant to the container, and each lot is identified with the specific southern area. More context in origin and in the export section.
