Octopus, 2 kg

Description

The octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is a benthic and coastal species that can be found up to 200 m deep, on rocky and sandy seabeds.

These octopus weigh around 2 kg (4,4lb).

How to cook it

Usually, only the arms are cooked, and they are enough for a 3 or 4-people meal. In addition, the head can also be cooked, cutting it into strips, which is an extra meal. When the octopus is boiled, it loses much water and reduces weight.

We show you how to cook it “A Feira” here (in Catalan).
