Description

FRESH COOKED SPANISH WHOLE OCTOPUS

Easy to use, our whole cooked octopus is ideal for cooking on the BBQ, pan fried, steamed or poached, as a salad ingredient, in a slow cooked risotto or as part of a dish garnish. Winner of a Great Taste Award in 2015, our whole octopus is amazingly tender and flavourful product that takes no effort for you to prepare. It only takes 3 minutes on each side if you are cooking it on a frying pan or barbecue or you could just simply slice it cold and lay it on top of a salad. You will not believe how easy savouring the tastes of Spain’s seafood can be.

Our award winning Spanish Octopus has a beautiful dark cherry colour with pure white flesh. The meat has a fine firm bite with a very moist and meaty texture. The flavour is pleasant and fresh but a sprinkling of salt does help bring out the sea-fresh flavours.

HOW TO SERVE SPANISH OCTOPUS?

The most traditional Spanish recipe using octupus is Pulpo a feira, where sliced octopus legs are sprinkled with coarse salt, smoked paprika and drizzled with olive oil. The dish is traditionally served on wooden plates, along with sliced boiled potatoes and bread. Tradition dictates that drinking water should not accompany octopus, so the dish is usually accompanied by a young red wine such as our Scandalo Monastrell but we also recommend a traditional Galician white wine such as our Aquitania Albarino Bernon.
