How Octopus is cooked
Octopus needs longer than the other cephalopods: simmer it first until tender, then grill it over charcoal or put it in a tagine. That is the opposite of calamari, so do not treat it the same way.
How to choose Octopus
Fresh octopus has a firm body, glossy colour and intact suckers. It is cleaned to order, and the smaller sizes are more tender and quicker to cook than the large ones.
