grilled octopus
Seared eight-armed seafood
Grilled octopus is octopus that has been cooked over an open flame or on a grill, typically after being tenderized through boiling or braising.
The preparation chars the exterior while keeping the flesh tender, producing a smoky flavor and slightly crispy texture.
A staple of Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines, it appears on menus as an appetizer or main course: We started with the grilled octopus and moved on to lamb.
