[@mudge002able]

Considering Leo is the description guy I wanna say Angel actually hit the nail on the head perfectly. "Longer" Umami makes things that are savory just a bit more savory and the flavor is more deep and impactful. He probably didn't mean for it to be as profound as it was but the description was the most concise it could possibly be.

[@FreeNDeed777]

Yah, he has a really good taste buds.

You can buy the stock, it might not as be as good but it will still be fine. Hardest part is finding the fresh seafood.

[@jordythebassist]

Those black dots on the squid aren't actually ink, they're called chromatophores and are essentially skin pores that open and close. This is how they change colour from a white-ish colour, to brown and almost black. The ink actually doesn't cause the skin to change colour, the ink is their defence mechanism against predators 🙂

[@Dont_Fear_Phil]

Thank you, love Guga but his facts are often... questionable.

[@90Seconds2Midnight]

🤓

[@jordythebassist]

@Dont_Fear_Phil most welcome :) little known fact about those chromatophores is that cephlapods also breathe through those pores, so that's why they're typically found in very clear water. Murky water is essentially particles suspended in water and would cause them to suffocate, good fishing tip there for anyone wanting to catch squid 😎

Squid ink + rise = black risotto. It's traditional meal in Mediterranean/Italian/Croatian cuisine. Meal with octopus is very similar to "hobotnica ispod peke", a traditional Croatian meal, usually made with potatoes.

With the seafood stock you can just peel the prawns and use the shells and heads for the stock and save the meat for grilling instead of wasting prawns

I recently bought cuttlefish ink and a jar of black garlic at Jungle Jim's(they have ink in little packs so you don't have to buy or open a whole jar😃) to turn into black pasta. Hard to find people with taste experience of squid ink, so perfect timing. Thank you!

Probably the best paella I've seen cooked by a youtuber (well, it's arroz negro, not paella, but still the same technique)

[@LzFiGuimaraes]

There should be 2 controls: a pure one and another with simple butter. The one with the compound butter is almost always the winner, BUT I guess that's mainly due to the butter and not the additional ingredient. There should be another control to take this into account!

Apologies for correcting the Master, but Guga made a broth for the appetizer, not a stock. Stock is made by boiling bones; broth has flesh on bones.

Guga, whenever you make an experiment where one steak is with compound butter, you should also baste the other two steaks with regular butter, just to make sure that the reason you prefer the compound butter is not the butter-taste itself

Not sure if Guga Mentions it, but make sure to devein your shrimp. There's an intestinal tract that runs through the delicious prawn. Make a little slit along its back and use a toothpick to pull it out. There's nothing worse when eating shrimp than finding out you consumed its crap.

0:10 Hopefully there is a cephalopod expert out there to back me up (or possibly tell me I'm wrong) but I'm pretty sure those black spots aren't the ink. I believe the ink is stored and secreted from dedicated ink sacs located between the gills or occasionally behind the eye. Those markings on the cuttlefish are chromatophores which are used to signal warnings or as sexual displays.
