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

4.7 Rating 132 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.

“Havnt tasted them yet Great product and taste but not ideal as they came frozen in a 1kg block I expected them to be frozen individually so as you can defrost the exact amount you need Put me off buying again Barrie Creaser”

“The only down side to these is that you get a kilo of frozen puntillitas, so ended up defrosting and cooking the whole kilo. Awesome when cooked fresh, not so nice on day 2.”
