Squid cocktail is a seafood dish, which is usually served as an hors d'œuvre. It is similar to a prawn cocktail, but uses squid as the main ingredient.

In the 1970s in the United States, squid cocktail was one of the dishes explored to increase the popularity of squid in a time of diminishing fish stocks. Researches at Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a squid-gutting machine, and submitted squid cocktail, rings, and chowder to a 70-person tasting panel for market research.[1][2] Despite a general lack of popularity of squid in the United States, aside from the internal "ethnic market", and polling that had shown a negative public perception of squid foods,[3] the tasting panel gave the dishes "high marks".[4][5]
