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.

Very tasty, only problem they come in such a large frozen block.

These are very yummy – they come frozen – and then you have an awful lot of them so you do rather need a lot of gobbling friends! Use a mixture of gram flour and plain flour with some paprika and salt! Yummy or what!

I was very impressed. They were very tasty. My son asked for them after his visit to Spain. We are used to calamari, and I must admit, the puntillitas were tastier. I will be ordering again

The Roger process was simple as was the delivery and the puntillitas fried in the proper Spanish frying flour were superb. Just like the ones I was eating in the Canaries two weeks ago. With garlic prawns and tomato bread it was brilliant
