Clean Cuttlefish vs. Dirty Cuttlefish: What’s the Difference?
At Abrancongelados, we offer two types of cuttlefish: Clean Cuttlefish and Dirty Cuttlefish. Both have their advantages, depending on the type of dish you want to prepare.
Clean Cuttlefish
Clean Cuttlefish is a practical and convenient option, already cleaned, packed in a bag, and ready to cook. Ideal for those who want speed in the kitchen without spending time on cleaning and preparation. It’s perfect for quick and tasty dishes such as risottos, grilled dishes, and seafood stews.
Dirty Cuttlefish
On the other hand, Dirty Cuttlefish offers more flexibility for those who like to experiment and create more personalized recipes. It is not cleaned, meaning the customer will need to prepare it before cooking. This type is ideal for more elaborate dishes where you want to use the mollusk’s own juices to enhance broths and sauces, or for those seeking a more intense and natural flavor.
At Abrancongelados, you can find this product packed in bags, trays, and cleaned.
