      Chef John, this has given me inspiration to modify my mother's Portuguese octopus salad recipe (salada do polvo), which is a dish you should check out sometime! Keep up the great work! I'll let you know if I'm disowned or not after I tinker with mom's recipe. I mean, after all, I am the Ahmad Rashad of how to cook my cephalopod.

    The tricks to make the octopus tender are only used for fresh octopus. If the octopus is frozen and the thawed you dont need any tricks, in fact freezing fresh octopus before cooking it is the simplest trick you can use.

    Growing up in Southern California, with my grandfather working at a great seafood restaurant, we had and loved octopus. He also made the best deep fried calamari sandwiches on seeded buns. I'd love to see you make those. He would also make abalone steaks, tenderized and lightly fried. Ahhhh, the memories!

    I just tried this, it was fantastic. My wife who is very picky about food also said it was one of the best things I've made. Thank you for demystifying the cooking process. I let it boil a tad too long, so the end of the tentacles were slightly overdone, but the thicker parts were perfect.

    I LOVE Spanish food! There is nothing better than being on holiday on the coast in Spain and eating fish in a restaurant that they've just brought in that day from the Harbour, and sipping on a lovely Rioja.
    I love your attitude of buying decent wine to cook with, you're completely right. I would never buy and cook with wine I'm not prepared to drink. Don't get me wrong, I don't use a £30 of Bordeaux to cook with, but I wouldn't use anything less than £5, either.
    This looked lovely!

    I'm very impressed. It's the rare chef, (TV, online, or local), who would try his/her hand at octopus. It is notoriously challenging to get "just right." In addition, the palate of many in the USA is such that this is "too different." It is great to see something so infrequently recommended get showcased. Bravo!

  • @payazokoki
    @payazokoki 6 років тому +60

    Ok, I don´t wanna be that guy, but I guess this time I have to. Chef, I know this is YOUR TAKE, but let me tell you a couple of tips. 1. you need the skin. In order for the skin not to brake, like yours, you have to boil water (UNSALTED WATER), and sumerge the octopus 3 times, for only 5 seconds each, and then let it cool down for 5 minutes in between dives. The tentacle will curl (that´s what she said), but the skin will stay firm. Then you can continue with your cooking/ tenderizing method of not boiling it in full water. 2. Olive oil SHOULDN´T get charcoiled because it becomes very bitter and toxic. Always serve extra virgin olive oil uncooked. 3. In spanish cousin, serving that style of octupus (pulpo a la gallega) with that much water on the plate, will get you arrested jajajajaa. Also, sprinkling some Kosher salt on top of it at the end will give you pleasant dreams!
    I´m sure it tasted good, but just given you a couples of good tips from my old spanish gradmother that might help improve your flavor. Cheers.

      And, if he use an spanish octopus in the western USA, most probably the animal was frozen before being exported, making mechanic tenderezitation (beating or hammering it) unneccesary, if you use a fresh octopus you have to tenderize it.
