Yes, can order it online and pay the shipping which really marks it up.

I did a English to Korean translation: 오징어 잉크 - Figuring we might be able to find an asian market close by with it.

We've tried a number of shops in the area with no success yet. Even one of the largest asian markets in the area, only to be told no.

Any insight?

TIA
 
^^^ NW suburbs of Chicago..... Palatine, Lake Zurich area, Schaumburg is very close.
 
What do you plan to do with it once you find it? :)

I know Japanese people like to make squid ink pasta and ice cream. lol
 
For small quantity, you can always buy fresh cuttlefish and/or squid/calamari and extract the ink pouch :hula:

The rest will be part of your sashimi/sushi platter.
 
Locate a commercial fish distributor/purveyor and they should carry it.
 
Took the easy way out given no luck here. "we can order that for you, it'll be here in a week". Heck I can do that too.

So I did. Found it online and spoke to someone that says it has a four year shelf life and/or can be frozen.

Came in a 1# bottle and smaller ones, but given the shipping, I went with the $31 1# jar.

I just found this. I was reminded of this post and giggled. It looks like a death burger, but I'm very curious as to how this would taste. :3

I hope you need that professionally, 1# will last a dozen people for a lifetime ;)

Death burger sounds right. I wonder whether it would still taste like fish.
