Gueyu Mar Squid in Its Ink 6oz

Ingredients: Squids, Squid Ink Sauce (squid ink, onion, pepper, fish stock)

Although it LOOKS like something for only the most adventurous of eaters, this squid in ink is actually pretty delicate and mild tasting, like a hint of the ocean without being overly seafood-y.

Aside from the wonderfully weird packaging, Güeyu Mar takes a different approach to canning, inspired by Abel’s culinary background and (totally normal) obsession with fire. Where a traditional cannery would steam the fish before packing, Güeyu Mar cooks their fish over a brasa, or wood and charcoal burning grill, using the embers to impart a graceful smokiness that balances fruity sweetness from the olive oil it’s packed in. The process of grilling the fish protects it from absorbing too much of the oil, so you always taste fish first, oil second.

They don’t call it “squid from another planet” for nothin’! Straight out of the tin, this vibrant pink squid is coated in a dramatic, silky ink sauce that’s perfect for a classic squid in ink pasta dish with some rich cheese and a dash of red pepper. Use it to impress the hell out of your dining companions…just make sure you know ‘em well enough to be comfortable with black-stained lips! - Island Creek
