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.

“Very good quality and packaging. Delivered frozen in perfect condition. Sizes were very mixed which is not ideal if you're trying to get an even cooking.”

“Despite my cooking if I closed my eyes I could have been on the beach at Bolonia rather than my back garden. Served with ensalada de tomate is just about my perfect lunch.”
