where i use to work i believe they use to cut off the legs discard the beak and ink sac....simmer the legs for two hours in a court bouillon(that's what i believe the liquid was) then i believe they took the skin off and grilled it.


not quite sure but i believe taht is what they did

how do you cook your octopus?

[Ma Facon]

The whole polpi in salted lemon water, Dip it 3 times (so the legs curl and don't tangle up with the rest of the polpi) and simmer until tender. Clean out the head and pop out the beak.

[even stephen]

Clean beak and innards out, rinse it. Place it in a hotel pan with 2 cups
of good red wine vinegar and 5 or 6 fresh or dry bay leaves. Cover with
aluminum foil and seal around edges well. Place in a preheated 375 degree
oven for 37 to 42 minutes...your going to have to work with it....let
it cool covered....char grill over high heat brushing with a mixture of
red wine vinegar, evoo, touch of sugar, and s&p. Its the other alternative
to boiling or simmering for hours....more of a mediterranean method...good luck...
