Octopus Recipes

Wild Spanish Octopus is sourced out of Spain and is available whole, as a baby, or by the leg. Octopus is extremely versatile and absorbs flavor of the ingredients that it is cooked with. It has a sweet, mild taste with a white translucent meat and a medium-firm texture. It is delicious boiled, grilled, sauteed, or steamed.

Stop by the Euclid Fish Retail Market in Mentor, Ohio and pick up some Wild Spanish Octopus. Find our directions and hours here.
