Octopus

[Anonymous No.15571209]

Alright ck, I want some good Spanish style octopus. Sourcing it has been hard but in a Japanese market today I found some marked as "tako sashimi". I really can't tell if it's braised as some tako sashimi is before serving and need to adjust my cooking process if it is. How can you tell if octopus is cooked?

Also octopus general, post recipes and stuff

[Anonymous No.15571215]

if its cooked then its not sashimi

Well see if you had read you would realize you know nothing about sashimi but ok

[Anonymous No.15571608]

>>15571209
Thats not boiled.
Boil until slightly soft but not too much. Cut. Add spicy paprika, salt, olive oil and eat. Cook it any other way and ill track you down and kill you. Search pulpo a feira for recipe reference.

Usually for sushi, but not necessarily for sashimi, you fucking retard.

It'll tenderize if you stew it long enough, won't it?

[Anonymous No.15571764]

>>15571755
Yes. Put.a fork through it to check from tome to time, it should not be very tender. Check pulpo a feira recipes to know exact boiling time, dont over boil it. Fuck japanese degenerates and other recipes, spicy paprika, salt and olive oil. If the product is good dont spoil it doing stupid shit please. Octopus is a delicacy

That's fake octopus bro. Look at the tentacles, see how they are on the outside and not on the inside like they should be? That's not right.

Lol retard how many octopus do you usually see? Tentacles are just fine. Colour is kinda odd ngl, should be more violet if spanish octopus, probably changed because freezer.
https://www.bascofinefoods.com/spanish-recipes/pulpo-a-la-gallega/ use this recipe, skip the frozen first part and younare good to go anon. Potatoes are completely optional

This is how good octopus should looknlike, for reference, also, smaller octopus are usually tastier, if its too big and brownish it isnprobably moroccan or mediterranean octopus and not atlantic octopus, which makes it less tasty.

W8 is it really that hard to get octopus in the US? I thought every country with a sea had access to octopus. What seafood do Americans eat? It might be a med/northern europe thing to eat fish and seafood too often now that I think about it.

>How can you tell if octopus is cooked?
Easiest is to just ask the fish person at the store.
Most octopus at Japanese grocers is already boiled/braised, but your pic definitely doesn’t appear to be.
It’s also pricey; both my local Japanese grocer and Whole Foods has octopus for about $13/lb, and I’m nowhere near an ocean.

>>15573569
It isn’t commonly cooked/eaten at home, so it isn’t commonly found in ‘regular’ grocery stores. But any actual fish market or Asian grocery store will have it.

Fuck octopus eaters

It's definitely more of a restaurant food, not something often cooked at home. Fish, shrimp, scallops are usually the "at home" seafood for most Americans

Best octopus I've made is stewed in red wine and then finished on a grill. It was a rough adaptation of this recipe:

https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/spicy-charred-octopus

Think we did more of a spanish-style glaze than a korean one and served with fish tacos. This was last summer and I drank a lot of wine so details are hazy but I remember it being incredible. Supposedly one octopus braising trick is to include the cork in the stew, if you're using wine. Sounds like BS but can't hurt to try.

I am Galician and I love Octopus. I want to gut and rape octopus haters.

not from spain but close (portugeese) here, you should boil your octopus before actually cooking it, just dunk it in a big pot with not too much water, and a pic related for about 45 minutes on medium heat

afterwards, depends what you wanna do with it

if you buy fresh, freeze first and then cook it for maximum tenderness
