Talking PickLeS?

OKies, I hope you refer to the BIG ones, though the small ones are great grilled whole with just a light coat of salt, pepper, honey and garlic.... but when I catch a decent sized Occy, I like it best cold and pickled.
First you have to skin the Octopus legs..... i use the head for crab bait.... and then steam them for about an hour. At the same time, in a pot heat enough white wine vinegar to cover the octopus bit in a jar.......... a bit of sugar, a couple cloves of garlic and a chopped up chilli pepper and you are nearly there. when the octupus is steamed, cut it up and put in a jar, cover with the vinegar mixture and add in a splash of balsamic vinegar if you like..... try it... its nice
