Check out our 5 Amazing Octopus Recipes

Octopus is one of the most intriguing and special species in the water. If you don’t know anything about octopus, it could be hard to imagine how to eat it. In this article, we will give you five recipes for exquisite dishes that feature octopus.

One of the secrets to preparing a perfectly cooked octopus is to have it tenderized before. Then you can cook it in water. Cook the legs whole and calculate cooking time at about 15-20 minutes per kilo (about 8-10 minutes per pound).

If cooking octopus is not for you, we also sell cooked octopus so you can be sure the octopus is perfectly cooked already.

Let’s go!

Octopus recipe number 3: Tasty and bold octopus marrana

Even in Galicia they sometimes distance themselves from the traditional octopus ‘á feira’. The octopus recipe that we propose is typical of Almería, where it is usually served as a tapa and is accompanied with fried or stewed potatoes. This recipe is our favorite so far.
