Wild Caught Octopus

Whole Octopus price per Tray at approximately 8lbs.

• Our Octopus is wild-caught from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and immediately frozen to preserve extreme freshness.
• Octopuses are cephalopods closely related to squid, calamari, and cuttlefish.
• Marinating before cooking will help tenderize the meat.
• If you like calamari you will love octopus!

Octopus has a mild sweet flavor, a slightly purplish hue, and a firm meaty texture when cooked properly.  Although it looks intimidating; Octopus is not fishy, chewy, or slimy, it is very mild, tender, and easily picks up the flavor of what it’s being cooked in, which makes it well suited for marinades.  The quick-cooking high heat methods of grilling, sautéing, or deep frying are best; as octopus can become tough if overcooked.
