Chipirones are tiny squid harvested from the Atlantic Ocean. Exceedingly tender with a mild flavor, they are a gourmet delicacy. Ramón Peña poaches the chipirones and packs them in an ink sauce made with tomato, olive oil, onion and spices. Serve warm with fresh bread and a glass of wine.
These baby squid come from pristine waters off of the coast of Galicia. Each one is cleaned and bundled inside-out, creating a little package of deliciousness. The squid are then poached in seawater and put in a tin by hand, one-by-one. Finally they are covered with the flavorful sauce made using their own ink.
Situated in the northwest of Spain, Galicia is surrounded by cool, clean Atlantic waters that support a vibrant fishing tradition. In Spain canned seafood is acknowledged as a gourmet product, and small producers like Ramón Peña are meticulous about providing premium quality seafood to its customers.
