But what about taste? Does it taste link squid...I'm not going for looks with my pasta I want/need the fish taste.

It's pretty much tasteless to me. If you want fish taste, use fish or squid, not the ink.

The flavor is briny, like the ocean. It's not tastelessl, but not fishy either. What are you using it for? If you're unsure, this is a large amount of product, you might consider a smaller purchase for the first use.

I find it to have very little flavor. The best description I have heard is that it has a slight "ocean flavor." I use one tablespoon to 1.1 lbs (500g) of flour and four jumbo eggs. The bottom line is, if you want a strong squid flavor, I don't believe you will get it with this (even with a larger amount). Good luck if you try it, let me know your results.

If you're using it in the actual pasta recipe itself it has a different effect than if you are using it in the sauce to coat the pasta.

Yes, excellent squid flavor... more if you like it stronger, less for lighter.

Barely a fish taste at all, so you might prefer a different brand. I don't like the fishy taste, so this one is fine for me. Good luck Selen.

I have the Paderno and love it, other than carrots are a issue unless you can find very fat ones, like I found one time at HMart (oriental market). Rutabagas work well and they are my favorite new pasta, They have taste and texture.

It taste great with any tomato based sauce. I use it in place of all my pasta recipes. It doesn't have a strong bean taste to me more nutty and firmer than regular pasta.Just like regular pasta the longer it sits in the sauce the more of the flavor it soaks up. Just don't expect it to taste just like regular pasta

I am sorry but all I have cooked so far is chicken which turned out amazing - so juicy. It cooks faster than stated - good luck and let us know after you tried cooking the Gyro Cone.

No it doesn't taste fishy - but it does taste of the sea (think sea salt on kale)

i haven't had squid brand, but numerous other brands over the years. Red Boat is hands down the best fish sauce I've ever tasted. I honestly can eat straight drops of it. I was in Hawaii recently and used it to season everything. Exceptional flavor!

S.Fox,Can you recommend specific brands for "the best tasting spirulina"? How about some weblinks? Thanks.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not, fish should take about the same time or a little more than pasta.

Hey Sulema! I personally did not care for the taste or texture, however, my 11 year old daughter did. It was so much fun to make that I'd buy it again. And it looks like real sushi!

It's very BLAND due to the fact that it's not SHARP...I was in a bind and could not get to the store, so I ordered this cheese thinking it would be " better than nothing " ( I've never had govt. cheese, but I doubt whether it would be " awesome ", if you found it to your liking, then you'll love this one ) totally lacking in any " characteristics " that would make a cheese interesting, I wasn't expecting much from a " medium " cheddar, so I wasn't very disappointed, it served it's purpose....never again, no fault of Tillamook.........for me, SHARP, or EXTRA SHARP is the only way to go.

I refridgerate it. But it still ended up tasting like fish. I don't know about the processing of this stuff. I've decided to use it up and try other brands, perhaps more local.

I find there is a slight difference in taste. It is subtle to me and hardly noticeable. However, with the regular noodle you geta stronger taste of the sauce that you are using. This is so subjective, it is hard to describe.

There is a link to the recipes on their website. I have not looked at them yet. I really like the vegie pasta it makes!

I don't miss the salt taste ,but I like salt on my food. I don't use salt anymore. So, maybe my taste buds get the satisfaction without the salt. I don't crave water after using it like I would if I used salt. The flavor is my favorite. Kind of a spicy, a little peppery..

Their website has nice info regarding the fish oil and how it compares to other fish oils on the market. Very minimal processing, comes from salmon, if I recall correctly. I did some research before choosing and have been very satisfied.

It has a taste, but not fishy. It lasts a minute and goes away. You don't taste it any time after.
