The Daily Catch( – Website–YELP)
is a small yet notable eatery in North End, Boston MA. the restaurant only has 20 seats, yet it is known for its succinct menu, which symbolizes the fact that these guys know what they are serving! The menu resolves around pastas and seafood in the Sicilian style, and the Housemade squid-ink linguine is the crown of the menu. Here’s a brief look at this delicious offering.

The Squid Ink Pasta (priced at $21) comes in puttanesca, Alfredo, and aglio olio with chopped calamari. The black pasta is served hot in 12-inch skillet with sizeable hunks of finely-prepared squid. You can enhance your dining experience with the Daily Catch’s amazing garlic bread (priced at $4).

You will also notice a generously thick layer of fond on the noodles, which gives it a meaty flavor. You will be tempted to scrap the fond off the pan once you are done with the noodles.

If you love pasta, you will be delighted with the size and texture of these noodles. In other words, these are not only delicious, but aesthetically pleasing as well. The exquisite appearance of the noodles as well as their unique taste owes itself to squid ink. The ingredient has the high levels of the same flavor compound (glutamic acid) that can be found in Parmesan cheese and soy sauce etc. No wonder why it tastes so good!

To sum up, the Squid Ink Pasta at the Daily Catch in Boston is one of those culinary experiences that you can’t simply describe in words. You have to taste it to understand what we are talking about! So the next time you are in Boston, be sure to try this pasta.
