About Chipirones fritos

Chipirones Fritos, or fried baby squid, are a popular dish rooted in Spanish cuisine, especially celebrated along coastal regions. This dish consists of tender squid coated in seasoned flour, often including paprika or garlic powder, and deep-fried until crisp and golden brown. Typically served as tapas, they may come with lemon wedges or aioli for added flavor. High in protein and low in carbohydrates, chipirones offer essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. However, due to the deep-frying process, they can be higher in calories and fat, particularly saturated fats if fried in less healthy oils. While a delicious treat, enjoying them in moderation or opting for grilled or baked versions can balance flavor with health considerations.
