The Illex season typically runs from January to June, with price fluctuations depending on catch volume around San Jorge Gulf and the high seas region.

Recent market trends:

  • Strong demand from China and Europe.

At Food Arts S.A., we offer Illex squid in various presentations:

  • Whole round (WR)

  • Tubes & tentacles

  • Fins & wings

  • HGT (headed, gutted, tail-off)


2. Argentine Hake (Merluccius hubbsi)

Hake remains one of Argentina’s most exported whitefish species.

Current price trends:

  • Stable pricing due to consistent catches.

  • Increased demand from African and Mediterranean markets.

  • Higher prices for skinless, boneless IQF formats.

Food Arts S.A. provides detailed specifications, quality checks, and updated pricing to ensure guaranteed value for buyers.

One of Argentina’s most in-demand products, especially in Europe and China.

Market updates:

  • The season usually runs June to October for the offshore fleet.
