Dishes with cuttlefish

The coloring matter (sepia) is what these sea inhabitants are famous for. In Italy, sepia is used to color pasta and a dozen types of dark sauce, which both locals and tourists adore. And also, in the famous film “Kon-Tiki”, the courageous Swedes not only ate these animals, but kept on-board records of them in ink. All methods of using these cephalopods for culinary purposes are present in many examples in Japanese and Pacific cuisines. The most common cooking options are deep-fried or grilled, finely chopped after boiling - in vegetable salads. Thanks to the availability of recipes, today it is not very difficult to prepare stuffed cuttlefish with rice for dinner. Repulsive and even scary - this is how many housewives could describe the bizarre creature. The exoticism of this animal does not encourage further “acquaintance”. You need to have the appropriate skills and knowledge to evaluate not only the medicinal properties of the shellfish, but also its taste aspects.
