Squab, the signature
Pigeon (squab) — halal, product of France, listed whole. The line Onyx is known by.
Every collection has a center. At Onyx it is the squab: pigeon (squab), halal, a product of France, listed whole. It is the classic of the game kitchen — the plate around which tasting menus have been built for generations, and a standing feature of fine halal dining.
The bird portions by nature at one bird per plate, which is why kitchens build signature dishes on it, and why its specification matters at this level: a named line, a stated origin, a consistent bird.
The collection lists it under both of its trade names — squab here, pigeon (squab) in the catalog — for buyers whose sheets and menus use either. Onyx lists the specification exactly and quotes it by enquiry: origin and form, the facts a menu's price-per-plate math stands on, in print before the conversation begins.
Fine-dining kitchens run the squab as a standing signature across a service week. Specialty and halal retailers stock it as the premium bird, the one that signals the case is serious. Private-label and program buyers pair it with the quail range — squab for the feature, quail for depth.

Make an EnquiryWhat is the exact specification?
Pigeon (squab): halal, product of France, listed whole. That specification is what is listed, and what an enquiry is quoted against.
Is the squab halal?
Yes. The squab line is halal, and it is listed as pigeon (squab), product of France, in the collection.
Why is squab portioned one bird per plate?
It is the bird's natural portion — a single squab is a composed serving, which is why it suits signature and tasting formats, and why kitchens protect its specification so carefully.
