Cut Varieties
We supply Frozen Baby Octopus in whole, with the ink and guts removed. These can be roasted or grilled or added to curries as per your taste.
Texture & Taste
The Baby Octopus texture is hard and tender on the whole- if cooked right. If you do saltwater and lemon brine, it will tenderize the meat. It is chewy, and slimy when raw.
The taste of the Baby Octopus is usually rubbery when cooked. But slow cooking is advised to enjoy the benefits of a mix of sweet and saltwater flavors of the sea. It has a mix of squids and lobsters when you bite into them.
Recipe Ideas
Always remember to marinate it, and then boil a bit before frying or grilling it. Of course, the direct grill is good, but the rubbery texture will remain. Thaw our frozen octopus properly, and then prepare octopus masala, Indian octopus curry, and even the Kerala Octopus Roast recipe is perfect with a bowl of white rice.
