La seppia alla griglia in Spagna

La seppia alla griglia in Spagna.
La estate appena passata ho potuto godere della cucina spagnola in diversi chiringuitos ad Ibiza.
In molti di questi baretti si mangiano pietanze semplici ma spesso molto gustose.
Era il caso di questo piatto, niente di che a dire la verità ma esattamente quello che ci si poteva aspettare: un paio di seppie alla griglia, delle patate al forno e qualche verdura fresca.
Cosa chiedere di più a pochi metri dal mare?

Presentano 10 appendici circumorali retrattili: 8 braccia di pari lunghezza e 2 lunghe appendici dotate di ventose denticolate, adibite alla difesa e spesso alla riproduzione. L’animale presenta anche occhi sporgenti con una pupilla molto sviluppata e a forma di W. Le specie di dimensioni maggiori non superano i 50 cm, e possono raggiungere i 12 kg di peso.

Un piatto di paella di pesce

Un piatto di paella di pesce.
Andare in Spagna e non mangiare questo piatto sembra quasi un’offesa al buon gusto.
A dire la verta’ questa non e’ sicuramente stata una delle migliori (pertanto non vi diro’ dove l’ho mangiata) mai provate ma che fare, era l’unico ristorante disponibile nella caletta dove eravamo al mare.
Diversi tipi di pesce (che era impossibile riconoscere), qualche muscolo, qualche pezzetto di granchio (veramente io ho visto solo le zampe, nmmeno le chele) e qualche pezzo di calamaro.
Le foto sono sicuramente meglio del sapore che pero’ dai non era cosi’ disastroso alla fine.

La paella è un piatto tradizionale della cucina spagnola, diffusosi in tutto il Mar Mediterraneo e nell’America Latina. Il piatto, a base di riso, zafferano e frutti di mare o carne, è simile al pilaf turco o al biryani indo-pakistano e viene preparato nella tipica padella da cui prende il nome, la paella o paellera.

Calamaro alla griglia in Spagna

Calamaro alla griglia in Spagna.
Non e’ un piatto molto difficile da preparare ma quando sei al mare fa sempre il suo piacere.
Semplice si ma anche leggero e gustoso se fresco e cotto bene.
Questo piato l’ho gustato, un paio di settimane fa, in un chiringuito nella spiaggia (scogliere) di Sa Punta ad Ibiza.

The squid (Loligo vulgaris Lamarck, 1798), also known as the European squid or common squid, is a cephalopod mollusc of the Loliginidae family. The common name has the same etymology as “inkwell”, from the Greek kalamos (calamus), which from a pen case became an inkwell in the Middle Ages, thus alluding to the shape of the mollusc and the black defensive secretion it emits when threatened (similar to cuttlefish ink).

A grilled swordfish steak in Palermo

A grilled swordfish steak in Palermo.
One of the great grilled classics is the swordfish steak. Throughout Italy it can be found on almost every menu.
This one, in particular, with a side of French fries, I ate in Palermo at the restaurant Torquemada.
It wasn't bad also because it's not difficult to prepare and if the fish is good and fresh it's a delight.

It is present in tropical, subtropical and temperate zones of all oceans, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Sea of Azov. It is a typical pelagic fish that in certain situations can approach the coasts. It mainly populates surface waters but can descend to 800 meters; it usually does not descend below the thermocline. It lives in waters between 18 and 22 °C (juveniles also in warmer waters) and in cold areas, it migrates south in autumn.

A nice grilled John Dory

A nice grilled John Dory
A great fish to grill and, in the case of the photo, very well prepared. Even the skin was something exceptional.
We were in a restaurant in Palma de Mallorca and it was really excellent.

Do you like fish? Do you like preparing and cooking it at home? Do you have the right knife for filleting and preparing fish? I suggest this one Victorinox.

A nice plate of stockfish with potatoes

A nice dish of stockfish with potatoes.
One of the simple fish dishes (maybe not so simple to prepare though) that are prepared at my house.
Boiled stockfish (or accomodato or Ligurian style) with potatoes.
There is a nice post written by Loris with the recipe, here, so I won't go into too much detail about the descriptions and preparation.

Stockfish (in some areas of central and southern Italy called pescestocco or simply stocco) is white Nordic cod preserved by natural drying without the use of salt. It can be marketed under the name stockfish only if the product derives from the species Gadus morhua. However, the preservation technique is also applicable for Gadus macrocephalus and other species of cod or white-fleshed fish, creating a commercial multitude of dried cod of various types and qualities; for this reason, the more correct term is Norwegian stockfish.

Tentacolo di polpo ad Ibiza

Tentacolo di polpo ad Ibiza.
Uno dei miei piatti di pesce preferiti e’ il polpo. In Spagna (ma come anche nel resto del Mediterraneo) si mangia quasi ovunque ed e’ quasi sempre buonissimo.
Questo, ad esempio, l’ho mangiato in un ristorantino esclusivo di Ibiza il ristorante-chiringuito della spiaggetta di Cala Gracioneta.
Era veramente ottimo ma non vi dico quanto costava altrimenti mi dite che sono matto…

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-M 22.

In alcune classi di molluschi, quali ad esempio i Cefalopodi, il tentacolo è un utile mezzo di caccia e spostamento: ne sono fulgidi esempi il polpo ed il calamaro, che ne posseggono rispettivamente otto e dieci. In questi animali i suddetti arti, molto forti e robusti, sono dotati spesso di ventose (nel caso del polpo a fila doppia), che permettono di fare meglio presa sulle rocce e di catturare con maggiore facilità le prede.

A fish stall at Palma market

A fish stall at the Palma market.
One of the most beautiful places where I ate in Palma de Mallorca is this market called de l’Olivar.
A classic in Spain are these covered markets in which, almost always, there are also small bistros where you can eat delicacies (which you pay for and which are not “cheap” despite the location).
The view and the material for photographs are always guaranteed! In addition of course to a good snack.
In this case the stall was of fish (fresh?) and in particular I photographed some beautiful octopuses!

Have you ever been to this market?
