I have never had calamari salad before so I didn't really know what to expect when I tried this calamari salad from Costco.
I liked the sweet taste of the calamari, and the calamari had a nice, soft and chewy texture. The combination of vegetables like the mushrooms, red peppers, and lettuce stems created a good crunch. The overall salad had a sweet, vinegar-y and ginger-y taste, and it was good, but I would have preferred less ginger.

REVIEW – Azumagourmet: Calamari Salad from Costco
RUBBERY! it was fantastic… What are you doing, cooking it for? sheesh.
Where can I buy Azuma Calamari Salad?

Where can I buy Azuma Gourmet Calamari Salad? Costco no longer carries it. Bring it back!!!
Delicious , right balance of flavors . I ate it cold with rice ( seasoned w a little of Maggi ) .
This calamari salad is delicious. If you’re not accustom to,the rubbery consistency of squid then don’t buy it. Octopus and calamari are very healthy and this salad is very enjoyable cusine. Try it you’ll like it!
It’s unfortunate that Costco in my area no longer carries it. I keep asking to bring it back without any luck. BRING IT BACK!
The calamari was tough and rubbery. It was everything that causes people to hate squid. I’ve made fresh calamari salad… Apparently YOU haven’t.
This was disgusting and is in my trash. I will NEVER buy it again.
Apparently, it must be served immediately or it overcooks into rubber bands.
