    Default Anybody know how to cook octopus?

    I tried cooking it once and chalked it up as a failure. I want to give it another try. Any tips/recipes?

    I haven't tried this recipe because I don't eat octopus anymore, but seriouseats.com usually puts you on the best path.

    Absolutely not. Oysters, shrimp, and scallops shouldn’t be fried.

    Shrimp? You done lost your mind
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    Boiled and grilled is the only way.

    Hell, I don't even fry bream or bass anymore! I had grilled shrimp last night. Trader Joe's has a chili lime spice that is really good on grilled shrimp.

    I've seen some recipes for grilled octopus but they recommend blanching/parboiling first. The times vary between recipes for the blanching and I was hoping someone here had first hand experience and a killer recipe.

    There is only 2 ways your can cook octopus: you can fry it or fuck it up.

    To each their own but I prefer the taste of boiled or grilled over fried. Now chicken is the opposite.

    That article was just what I was looking for. I'm going to try the sous vide method before grilling. Thanks!

    Shrimp rolled my little flour concoction with the only moisture added being their own liquor thrown in hot peanut oil is delicious.. properly fried food is delectable

    I think you be confused on what communism is. Me stating my opinion on how seafood is best prepared doesn’t quit fit that definition.

    You can’t beg to differ and then not post your differing opinion/recipe.

    If you don't understand what that reference is then I can't really help you....

    But thanks for the impromptu civics lesson, nonetheless.

    The octopus came out OK but not worth the trouble. I first put it in the sous vide for 5 hours at 175 degrees to tenderize it, then put it on the grill with butter, garlic,
    and chili lime. It was good but not very different from squid, not different enough to justify the extra work getting it tender.
