Octopus

In Greece, only seafood that is freshly caught is being used. The waters around Greece are abundant, which means that fresh fish and other seafood may be found on a daily basis. The seas around Greece are also teeming with octopus. They are collected and processed in a certain way to make them exceptionally sensitive. It all starts with a freshly caught or hunted octopus, though. Fresh octopus seem to swim close to the shore, which means that they are relatively easy to catch. Many Greeks use spears to pierce their bodies, and they tend to hunt for them at night.

After the octopus has been adequately tenderized, it can be utilized in your favorite dish. Grilling and braising are two popular ways to prepare it. Octopus is rarely fried, and Greeks prefer it when it has been thoroughly tenderized and then simply prepared to bring out its inherent characteristics. Here are some common techniques for enhancing the octopus' natural flavors:

• Octopus With Ouzo
• Wine Braised Octopus
• Octopus Salad (Oktopodi Salata)
• Grilled Octopus
• Octopus With Garlic Sauce
