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.

Floured and deep fried, these were Andalusia on a plate. Fantastic.

First time that I have ordered from Basco Fine Food and the products are amazing! Well packaged and arrived on time. This is for my daughter’s 16th birthday treat as we cannot go out anywhere. gracias!

Not yet consumed but very happy with purchase: virtually impossible to find anywhere. Did not purchase more as need to try how easy to cook as first time ever I buy this product. Though a favourite during holidays in Spain.

Great product, never easy to find in UK. We cooked them in three different ways and all of them tasted amazing. Will definitely order again.

Just like being in the Old Town Benidorm. Chopitos at their best.
