At first glance I thought it was a huge locust... I never knew octopus can be BBQed. I know they have to get a good beating against the rocks (fisherman do that here) to tenderise and to avoid the ”guminess” of the meat. Greetings Maria x
Oh yummy! It’s starting to look very nice in your part of the world We are getting colder everyday. Today we have sunshine. But a cool wind and there are dark clouds coming. Enjoy xx

It is a bit tough when it's bbqed but it is sliced quite thinly and my husband and friends consider it the perfect snack with ouzo.

ReplyDeleteI love BBQ octopus, do you freeze it first before drying it and bashing it?
ReplyDeleteIf you freeze it first it does tenderise the octopus, either that or bash it 100 times on the rocks.
DeleteOh yummy!
ReplyDeleteIt’s starting to look very nice in your part of the world
We are getting colder everyday.
Today we have sunshine. But a cool wind and there are dark clouds coming.

I hope you don't have a warmer winter. NZ seems to be having one storm after another.
DeleteFresh Octopus is so expensive here, the nearest I get is tinned!
ReplyDeleteSo much easier to get it in a tin! We can get tinned octopus here too. Never tried it though and probably never will. Not allowed!
DeleteIt's OK, but nothing like the real thing.
DeleteI had no idea what it was at first glance but glad to know it's Octopus, that's yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe photo wasn't all that clear. I should have mentioned that it was only one of the tentacles!
DeleteOuzo on the verandah sounds good. Especially with a big dollop of sunshine, Rain and wind here today.
ReplyDeleteDays have been really warm but not much sunshine getting through. We have a thick cover of red dust from Africa.
DeleteI hope the red dust will not come here, a lot of sunshine here.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you dont get any dust. You are much cloer to the Sahara. Must be how the wind blows
