While I was in Málaga I just had to eat seafood and I
wanted to try something new so I ordered up a tapa size portion of Chimpirones
en su tinta or Cuttlefish in its ink. I
honestly chose to try this because I saw an episode of the Travel Channels
show, Bizarre Foods, when Andrew Zimmer goes to Spain and ate octopus in its
own ink and I wanted to try something similar. When the dish came out I got to
admit, it looked pretty gross. Kind of like a baby squid swimming in tar or
oil. But it actually it was
delicious. It tasted a lot like calamari
and the ink didn’t really taste that much like anything, it just had a very
strong seafood, salty flavor. I would definitely get it again sometime.
Yum! Dad is throwing up just thinking about it.
