This whole raw octopus, carefully gutted, is presented in individual trays and wrapped in cling film to professional quality standards. Extractively fished in the Central East Atlantic (FAO 34 - sub-zones 1.31 & 1.32), it belongs to the Octopus vulgaris species, renowned for its tender texture and rich aroma after cooking. Each piece is individually deep-frozen (IQF/IWP) to guarantee excellent preservation of its organoleptic qualities. Culinary uses | Highly prized in Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine, this octopus lends itself to many preparations: ► Grilled a la plancha, braised in a casserole, ► in a warm salad with olive oil and citrus fruits, ► or carpaccio after cooking and chilling. Its flavoursome flesh develops subtle iodine aromas that go equally well with rustic dishes and refined platters. Be sure to cook before eating. Recipe idea: As recommended in the Spanish gallega recipe, this octopus (Octopus Vulgaris) has been frozen and therefore tenderised. Cook it for around 45 minutes in a copper pan filled with boiling salted water, with a few unpeeled potatoes. Once the octopus is cooked and tender, leave it to cool for 20 minutes, then cut it into strips to arrange on a large flat plate around the peeled potatoes. Add a dash of olive oil, a few grains of sea salt, sweet paprika and a little chilli pepper, and all that's left to do is serve it with a beer or red wine.
