Description
Whole baby octopus are hard to find in the USA, making these delicacies a must have. You can expect a mild, sweet, and tender profile that cooks fast. We enjoy them in stews, fruit de mar, or deep-fried.
Suggested serving sizes: 4 ounces for an appetizer or 8 ounces for an entrée.
Wild-caught in the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the Iberian Peninsula, our Baby Octopus is a true delicacy of the sea. Prized for its tender texture, natural sweetness, and beautiful purple-tinged hue, this Mediterranean favorite is a versatile centerpiece for both rustic and refined seafood dishes.
Expertly harvested from Spanish waters, each baby octopus is meticulously cleaned and prepared, arriving ready to cook and bursting with ocean-fresh flavor. The flesh is firm yet delicate, offering a mild brininess and a satisfyingly chewy bite without being tough. Whether charred on the grill, pan-seared to a crisp edge, or gently braised with herbs and olive oil, baby octopus holds its shape and soaks up bold flavors beautifully.
For best results, we recommend a quick poach to tenderize, followed by grilling or sautéing to achieve that golden, slightly crisp exterior. Serve over a bed of mixed greens, chickpeas, or warm Mediterranean vegetables for a show-stopping appetizer or main course.
