Puntillitas, Baby Squid, Frozen, 500g, Southern Spanish Cuisine Reviews

4.7 Rating 131 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Puntillitas, also known as chipirones or baby squid, are a popular ingredient in Southern Spanish cuisine. They are also called chopitos depending on the region. To prepare them, coat them in harina de freir, a special Spanish frying flour, and quickly fry them until golden brown. Serve with fresh lemon and a cold beer. Be sure to check them and de-quill appropriately. They arrive as a frozen block which requires defrosting. Then they will require cleaning and debeaking with a sharp knife. Each puntillita measures around 5-12cm in length and is individually quick frozen on the boats to ensure their freshness. They are packaged in 1Kg packs.

It's a good product, but incredibly messy and laborious to clean. The house smelled for two solid days after I cleaned a kilo. Much as I like Puntillitas, I will probably stick with larger squid that are easier to clean, or leave the cleaning of the Puntillitas to someone (and somewhere) else.

I went to university in Spain and Basco Foods is the closest to being back at the most favourite young years of my life. True deliciousness in every bite, making a nostalgic feast. Cannot recommend highly enough. All your foods are fantastic and so easy to prepare. I also made the Black Squid Ink Paella and it was heaven in my mouth with angels dancing on my tongue in every bite! So easy to follow your recipes and completely fool proof. Anyone can do this.

A quantity large enough to feed 12 of us with some to spare. Exactly as you would hope they would be.
