Arenys squid
Product from the sea with varied culinary possibilities.
The Arenys squid is a high quality cephalopod and highly appreciated native to Arenys de Mar. The fishing season begins at the end of September and the potera technique is used. A technique that requires patience and is performed with a vertical instrument with a crown of non-mortal hooks that is thrown to the bottom of the sea. They are fished at night. Fishermen leave after sunset and, with the help of artificial lights, are located at a depth of between 20 and 30 meters, ideal for catching squid. Once caught, the squid are marketed in the Llotja d'Arenys de Mar. The culinary possibilities of the Arenys squid are many and varied. From simple roman squid to squid dishes stuffed with seafood, meat, mushrooms or vegetables.
