    I’m comparing this against the other squid in ink tins within the ~$5 to ~$12 price range that I’ve tried from RTG. Those included Don Gastronom squid pieces and Pepus stuffed baby squid.

    I was super excited to try the Bogar Squid Pieces in Ink. After warming the tin contents, I transferred them to a bowl for consumption. Among other squid in ink tins, Bogar’s offering had the strongest ‘ocean briny squid aroma.’ I should clarify that this comment re: noticeable smell isn’t necessarily a downside since the scent is something to be expected with this type of squid preparation.

    Visually, the sauce color was not as dark when compared to the others. As far as taste and texture, I would say that the umami flavors and the squid’s pleasing balance of chewiness and tenderness were delightful. The Bogar tin was noticeably saltier compared to the other cans. I ate this with some white rice which proved to be the perfect complement since it tamed the saltiness and harmonized the flavors.

    Overall, I would rate this a 3.5 out of 5.

    Oh boy… I consider myself an adventurous eater, so when I stumbled upon this box, I thought, “Why not?” The moment I opened the container, I was hit with an overwhelming scent of something not quite right – a mix of fishy and overly intense ink that made me hesitate. The presentation, unfortunately, did not ease my growing apprehension. The squid pieces looked unappealing, and the ink gave off an unsettling appearance. Trying to push through my doubts, I took a hesitant first bite, only to be met with a flavor that can only be described as repulsive.
    I attempted a few more pieces, desperately hoping it would get better, but each bite was a struggle. The ink’s overpowering taste, combined with the strange texture of the squid, left me genuinely disgusted. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it, and the aftertaste lingered unpleasantly.
    In all honesty, this can turned out to be a culinary nightmare for me. But.. My doggos seemed to enjoy it, so it wasn’t a complete waste!

    These were just ok. Nothing too off putting but not great either. I appreciated the quantity that was packed in though.
