Chilli squid pairs perfectly with this mango salad. Loosely inspired by Thai green mango salad, our mango and fried shallot dish features ripe mango enlivened by a touch of lime juice and fish sauce. Fried shallots bring crunch, while thinly sliced chilli adds a heat hit – in keeping with the hero ingredient, our chilli squid. A great lunch dish or suitable as a shared plate. This dish is labour light and is well placed in any venue looking for exciting seafood options.
For the chilli squid we use Pacific West’s Chilli Squid.
Shapes of tender chilli squid are a great alternative to traditional salt & pepper squid. With a mild chilli flavour, this squid is suitable for a range of menu ideas.

INGREDIENTS
- Pacific West Chilli Squid
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced shallots (about 4 large shallots)
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, cut into irregular cubes
- canola oil for frying
- small basil leaves
- thinly sliced red chilli (such as Fresno)
INSTRUCTIONS
For the chilli squid
Deep fry 180C 3-4 minutes
For the mango with fried shallots
In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high to 135 C. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Increase the heat to high and place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl. When the oil registers 180 C, add the once fried shallots and cook just until they are crispy and well-browned, about 1-2 seconds, watching carefully so the shallots don’t burn.
Arrange mangoes on a large plate. Whisk oil, fish sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl to combine. Drizzle dressing over mangoes, then top with fried shallots, chile, and basil.
Serve the mango salad as a side dish to the chilli squid.
