This display of seawater delicacies on ice at La Boqueria Market in Barcelona, Spain, was not very appealing to me, but there were plenty of customers for these Humboldt or jumbo squid (pota), the flounder (llenguado), eel (anguila) and octopi (pulpo gallego). However, if they had been fried into calamari or incorporated into one of the many dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, I would consider them very appetizing.
