How do you like your pusit? Adobo, inihaw, dried, positive, negative, optimistic… the choice is yours! Local names for our various squid include pusit, panus, nukos, locus (Bisaya), bomagto (Ilokano), lumayagan, dalupapa (giant squid), barawan, kalamares, and more, depending on species, region or location (NOAA 1981, Binisaya.com). Jokes and SQUIDDing aside, like most food prices the cost of pusit is rising. The average price per kilo of squid in 2022 was more than P149, up from around P130 a kilo from the year before (PSA 2022).
