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.
