This is another seafood offering from
Molinera, a company that cans seafood in Spain. Pulling back the lid
reveals medium sized pieces of squid packed nicely into the square
tin. The product is a reddish tint due to the “American Sauce”
that the product is packed in (Vegetable oil, tomato, onion, spices
and salt). A strong smell of seafood is present within this tin and
comes bursting forth after removing the lid.
Biting into a chunk of squid reveals a
rubbery texture and a very potent taste of seafood that is not
unpleasant if you enjoy seafood. The America sauce gives off a faint
taste of onions, but it is a bit too salty. Just like with Molinera
Octopus in Garlic Sauce, this should be used in a dish that is under
salted so that the taste is balanced out.
The size of the pieces of squid and
firm texture makes it better than average. The taste of the sea
prevalent within this product could add a nice touch to any dish.
However, the squid is just too rubbery and the salt is more than what
any reasonable person would like.
Due to this I am only able to give
Molinera's Squids in America Sauce 3 chunks of squid out of 5. Still
above average, but only just a bit.
