That was my lunch chum's. (Had mushrooms in it, tasty.) She was so disturbed by my pervy black lips, she had to look away. I demanded a photo be taken. Almost squid, but not quite. Cuttlefish. Not bad at all, it's a bit of a local speciality in Zagreb/Croatia. Way too much of it. Disappointingly, it didn't make my number twos black, as I'd hoped
One of the best fish dishes I have ever head was in Cáceres, Spain, hundreds of miles from the sea. 'Merluza a la Marea Negra', which means 'black tide hake' - sounds so much better in Spanish. It was ultra-fresh and tasty hake, a nice mound of white rice, and a squid ink sauce. This was in 1990, or was it 1991, and I can still see, smell and taste it.
