Product description

Fresh Wild Octopus is a prized Mediterranean favourite, known for its firm texture and delicate, slightly sweet flavour. Sourced from the North East Atlantic and prepared to order, it is delivered in excellent condition and never previously frozen.

Why it’s special: Wild octopus is highly versatile and rewards careful cooking. When tenderised and cooked properly, it becomes beautifully soft while retaining its distinctive character and depth of flavour.

Quality & versatility: Ideal for slow cooking, braising or grilling, octopus is perfect for Mediterranean-inspired dishes. It can be gently simmered until tender, then charred over high heat for a crisp finish. Naturally high in protein, it offers both texture and flavour in equal measure.

Serving inspiration: Slow-cook with garlic and herbs before finishing on the grill with olive oil and lemon, or slice into salads with new potatoes and fresh parsley for a simple but impressive dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Fresh Wild Octopus taste like?

›

Fresh Wild Octopus has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a firm yet tender texture when cooked properly. It absorbs flavours well, making it ideal for Mediterranean-style dishes with olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs.

How do I prepare Fresh Wild Octopus before cooking?

›

Our Fresh Wild Octopus is sold whole, so it will need to be cleaned before cooking. This typically involves removing the internal organs and beak, then rinsing the octopus thoroughly. Once cleaned, it is ready to be tenderised and cooked.

What is the best way to cook Fresh Wild Octopus?

›

Fresh Wild Octopus is usually simmered gently to tenderise the meat before being grilled, roasted or sliced for salads. Once tender, a quick grill or pan sear adds excellent flavour and texture.

Where is your Fresh Wild Octopus sourced from?

›

Our Fresh Wild Octopus is sourced from the North East Atlantic and selected through Brixham Fish Market, where our buyers purchase from the daily auction to ensure the best quality and freshness.
