Ati Manel Squid Pieces in Ink

We find these best when gently warmed and served over rice or risotto. But, no one will judge you if you eat them straight from the tin like a heathen.

I really enjoyed this can. It was my first time trying squid in ink and i really liked the briny flavor and the texture of the squid. I toasted some broken up spaghetti in a pan with olive oil, added a little wine, then added some water (clam broth would have been great) to cook the pasta “risotto style” and added the squid in at the end. It was delicious and I will be buying this again

Excellent squid in a very good ink sauce. You get what you pay for here and more. High quality pieces that almost read as octopus, perfect texture that isn’t too chewy or soft. The ink was a touch underseasoned for me but easily remedied with some salt and pepper. I probably would have liked this even at room temp by itself, but instead I warmed this up over some leftover rice … and absolutely enjoyed the experience.
This Ati Manel tin is much better than other squid tins that I’ve tried recently. For my tastes, I have realized that budget squid isn’t tasty (e.g. Goya) and that good squid is definitely worth an extra dollar or two. Fortunately, this tin is priced at such a nice level that it doesn’t even need to be a super special occasion to crack it open. Definitely recommend this tin and Ati Manel in general.

I’m a big fan of the ink sauce flavor profile in general, this tin is no exception. Very good flavor. Slight cephalopod chew, perhaps moreso than other squids I’ve tried, but by no means offensive (delightful actually, imo). The sauce is oily, tomatoey, and delicious. The squid and sauce is really a complete package, so make sure to serve with something that will soak up the sauce; I like fried potatoes, but rice, pasta, or bread would also work well.

I spooned the squid and ink sauce over some toasty sourdough bread. The squid pieces were nicely bite sized so I could eat the toast without the squid topping falling off and the sauce had a certain tang that made every bite interesting. At this price point, I will definitely buy this can again and try new pairing with eat it with.

This has been my favorite squid in ink tin yet! The squid isn’t too chewy at all and the ink has a mild flavor with some really good oil. Because of the ink/oil in the tin, I think this is something that I wouldn’t plan to eat straight up (like a tin of sardines), but rather paired with something. I tried this tin as an addition to pasta. Cooked al dente and then added to a hot pan and mixed with the contents of the tin, garlic, and Calabrian chilies. It was an amazing dish and honestly so simple! The squid held up really well in the heat too, and didn’t get overly chewy or mushy. I highly recommend this tin if you are wanting to try squid in ink.

Excellent product. We mixed one in with spaghetti & garlic and it felt like a gourmet restaurant pasta. Very memorable flavor & visual experience. I would definitely recommend trying these out, even if you are a little unsure!! Rivals squid ink pasta in Italy!

So wonderful. The ink sauce tastes great and the pieces are good sizes. Ate it with crackers and very garlicky aioli.

This was an interesting tin. I wasn’t sure of the flavor at first but it kinda grew on me eventually. I could tell it was quality “cuts” of squid. Pretty nice texture. Probably best used as an ingredient.
