About Grilled cuttlefish

Cuttlefish cooked on a hot griddle, usually with garlic, parsley and olive oil. A familiar seafood tapa in Valencia's bars.

What to expect

Cuttlefish may be grilled whole or cut into pieces, depending on its size and the kitchen. Tender flesh and a little browning are what to look for. Garlic and parsley are common additions, although some bars use other dressings.

Ordering tips

Ask whether the portion comes with a side dish and whether allioli or mayonnaise is served separately. It adds variety alongside potato or vegetable tapas. Cuttlefish is different from squid, so do not expect the texture or preparation of fried squid rings.
