Chargrilled Squid in Ink

Güeyu Mar is one of the most extraordinary conservas producers in Spain — a project born from the legendary Asturian beachside restaurant of the same name, where chef Abel Alvarez built a global reputation for cooking fish and seafood over open wood fire on the Cantabrian shore. Every product in the conservas line carries that founding philosophy: exceptional raw material, open-fire cooking, and preservation at the absolute peak of quality.

Squid in its own ink is one of the great classic preparations of Spanish coastal cooking — a dish of remarkable depth and intensity, where the ink acts not merely as a colouring agent but as a flavour: deeply savoury, briny, and complex, with an oceanic richness that is impossible to replicate any other way. Güeyu Mar chargrill the squid over open fire before packing it in its ink, adding their signature layer of smoky depth to a preparation that is already intensely flavoured. The result is a tin of serious character — dark, bold, and arresting on the plate, with a flavour that is unapologetically oceanic.
