Squid ink on daily cooks challenge?

[mr-rubix]

Im watching this now and watched as the lady chef made paella with what appeared to be dark grey ice which I've just found to be squid ink. Paul young who is the celebrity taster said it was a good flavour. Has anyone ever tasted this? How do you get squid ink? Im assuming from the fishmonger still in the ink sac?

Thanks craft. Any idea of the taste or is this just used more to give food different colour?

Sorry no idea.......it seems to be popular with spaghetti....

Well seeing as its so cheap I'll give it a go one of these days. Thanks again.

I have had this in a risotto - cant really describe what the flavour was like but not particularly strong or over powering in any way.
