baby octopus
Small eight-armed creature
Baby octopus refers to small octopuses prepared and served whole, common in Mediterranean, Asian, and seafood cuisines.
They may be grilled, marinated, or added to salads and pasta dishes: The baby octopus was tender and charred just right.
The term covers both genuinely young specimens and naturally small species harvested at adult size.
