This page emphasizes: "Squid dried in the sun is fresh squid, usually cuttlefish or squid, caught by fishermen from the waters of Phan Thiet. After cleaning, the squid is dried for only 1 day under the hot sun. This process helps the squid retain its freshness, natural sweetness and characteristic toughness."
