Chef John, this has given me inspiration to modify my mother's Portuguese octopus salad recipe (salada do polvo), which is a dish you should check out sometime! Keep up the great work! I'll let you know if I'm disowned or not after I tinker with mom's recipe. I mean, after all, I am the Ahmad Rashad of how to cook my cephalopod.
If you want to borrow my house in Spain for free, let me know. Spend a few weeks, sample the food and stir up some new recepies.
Abey... Gaaandu ... Subtitles give down not understanding....
I HATE YOUR DAD JOKES!
Aaaaaaaaargghhh!!!
Chef John, you don't need an award, you're the best.
There was a 30 second ad and I didn't skip it for you Chef John.
Very good of you!
Delicate Dark awwwwww
That's loyalty right there
You still haven't heard of Adblock, aye?
Adblock hurts content creators and this guy is a champ for watching them
"If you want this today, make sure you start it yesterday." LOL
Thank you so much, Chef John. Please, never stop teaching and sharing your passion with the world. Never stop making delicious and inspiring food approachable to people. Most importantly, never lose your joyous manner and generous spirit. You are a treasure.
I just tried this, it was fantastic. My wife who is very picky about food also said it was one of the best things I've made. Thank you for demystifying the cooking process. I let it boil a tad too long, so the end of the tentacles were slightly overdone, but the thicker parts were perfect.
I love my 2 AM chef John videos
Same.
You are the Mr. Sulu of your Cthulhu.
When I was a teenager living in Spain for a summer I ate so much of this once before a drive through the mountains 🤢 surprisingly tasted almost as good the second time. Needless to say I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks chef John!
Great story
Why doesnt anybody look at these amazing dishes? The closest to present time I see is one year ago! This, like all the others Ive seen, is delicious. It is one fine "tapa". By the way, are you a pro- chef? You certainly have flair and every step of each dish is done with lots of class. Thank you.
Idk what time it is, i am a simple person. I see Chef Jonh upload a video, i click it and hit like. I don't even make the recipes most of the time, i just watch for Chef John's sass
Hi! I've been watching your channel for 8 YEARS now! I love how barely anything has changed in the way you make your videos.
The tricks to make the octopus tender are only used for fresh octopus. If the octopus is frozen and the thawed you dont need any tricks, in fact freezing fresh octopus before cooking it is the simplest trick you can use.
Non-coastal peoples just watch and imagine, like me. I love Chef John because this is the only place I'll ever see this cooked.
This is such an approachable octopus recipe! I’ve always been scared to try to cook octopus but this looks so good and so easy! Thanks chef John!
Dear Sir, I watch your Videos for a long time now. Not only do I like your recipes but I also like the way you talk, it comes over very sympathetic. You have a very fresh and funny way of explaining your recipe. That makes it fun to watch and listen. I am from Germany and really enjoy your Videos. Keep up the good work.
At first, I was just kinda 'meh' about this, but decided to watch it anyway. You've turned my mind on octopus and now I want to make this.
Side note, really shouldn't be watching your videos at 12:44 am. I don't need to be hungry right now.
same! I started watching like I'm never going to make this, now I am wondering where I can buy octopus! Rest of the ingredients are really simple too
Chef John You are My Hero, and therapist.
Growing up in Southern California, with my grandfather working at a great seafood restaurant, we had and loved octopus. He also made the best deep fried calamari sandwiches on seeded buns. I'd love to see you make those. He would also make abalone steaks, tenderized and lightly fried. Ahhhh, the memories!
Albert Valencia iiiii
wow, all sounds delicious! Nothing better to me than some good seafood
Just came back from the Galicia region in Spain where this is a speciality. Was wanting to make it back home and...boom...Chef John hits me up.
From baklava to octopus...interesting...not complaining at all because I'll take a chef John video anytime
Tried this method with frozen octopus, it turned-out very tender! Thanks, Chef John!
Whole time: "Where's the cayenne? where is it dammit"....Gets to end : Oh thank god there it is"
It was an emotional roller-coaster for me
probably the most attractive plate of food ive seen you make
I really love how you ex-spain-ed this method Chef very easy to understand!
This was fabulous and it is evan better than my favourite restaurant for Octapus, just delicious.
Love me some late night Food Wishes
Great recipe, made this with braising steak and red wine, added potatoes.
Simple & Delicious.
Thank you
I can't wait to try this! We just got a great seafood market with everything amazing. I love your recipe videos.
I LOVE Spanish food! There is nothing better than being on holiday on the coast in Spain and eating fish in a restaurant that they've just brought in that day from the Harbour, and sipping on a lovely Rioja.
I love your attitude of buying decent wine to cook with, you're completely right. I would never buy and cook with wine I'm not prepared to drink. Don't get me wrong, I don't use a £30 of Bordeaux to cook with, but I wouldn't use anything less than £5, either.
This looked lovely!
Chef, I'd be interested to see your take on a "smash burger" with your own secret sauce take as well. While it's summer!
Agreed
Yes!
If any of you know about Serious Eats/The Food Lab, Kenji has an amazing "ultra-smashed" burger recipe. The video for it on youtube is also amazing.
God I dislike the flavor of the month shit the cooking community always has going on
I tried this recipe and it’s delicious!!! The octopus is so soft!!! Perfect! Thank you!!!!
You are the Mackin' of your Spanish Kraken..😂😂😂
😆 😆 😆
Octopus is amazing. How we usually cook it in Spain is just in Salted Water, and then once its ready we just slice it and serve it with Pimenton and Olive Oil, sometime potatoes as well, and it tastes amazing. Great vid btw
style and personnality is everything
2 weeks has been too long! Don't make me use Bottled lemon juice!
I'm very impressed. It's the rare chef, (TV, online, or local), who would try his/her hand at octopus. It is notoriously challenging to get "just right." In addition, the palate of many in the USA is such that this is "too different." It is great to see something so infrequently recommended get showcased. Bravo!
Ok, I don´t wanna be that guy, but I guess this time I have to. Chef, I know this is YOUR TAKE, but let me tell you a couple of tips. 1. you need the skin. In order for the skin not to brake, like yours, you have to boil water (UNSALTED WATER), and sumerge the octopus 3 times, for only 5 seconds each, and then let it cool down for 5 minutes in between dives. The tentacle will curl (that´s what she said), but the skin will stay firm. Then you can continue with your cooking/ tenderizing method of not boiling it in full water. 2. Olive oil SHOULDN´T get charcoiled because it becomes very bitter and toxic. Always serve extra virgin olive oil uncooked. 3. In spanish cousin, serving that style of octupus (pulpo a la gallega) with that much water on the plate, will get you arrested jajajajaa. Also, sprinkling some Kosher salt on top of it at the end will give you pleasant dreams!
I´m sure it tasted good, but just given you a couples of good tips from my old spanish gradmother that might help improve your flavor. Cheers.
And, if he use an spanish octopus in the western USA, most probably the animal was frozen before being exported, making mechanic tenderezitation (beating or hammering it) unneccesary, if you use a fresh octopus you have to tenderize it.
The funny thing is that I don't even have an interest in making 85% of these dishes. But his skill, and charming, easy going manner makes watching his posts such a joy. I have not missed a video in the last 6 months and I've learned some great techniques. Thank you Chef John!
This is worth making because octopus is usually expensive in fancy restaurants
had octopus in Barcelona twice, and I want more! This looks so good! Its hard to get hold of octop in Norway .... :(
Chef John's voice is like the soft undulation of the sea on a calm sunny day.
**cooks in spanish**
"Hola! Esto es el chef John de Deseosdecomida.com con... Pulpo español!"
I got that reference :-)
Olé
Hola
cooks the Spanish
This is the best Octopus recipe I have ever seen and heard...!!! I am sleepy now. I have to go to bed so I can prepare yesterday for today! Cheers
@1:04 is that spanish medium-high or just regular ol' medium-high?
I don't fancy myself as any kind of a wonderful cook, but this recipe was spot on. If you follow the recipe to the letter the outcome will be very pleasing.
almost every time i click on your video i think 'eh, im not actually that interested in cooking and this dish doesnt seem that interesting but im bored' and yet i always end up enjoying myself, you just cant but love a little bit of chef john once in a while
Mmmm.... I'm watching this at the breakfast table and it still looks yummy! 😀
I just got done with the peach crisp and I find out I have to go buy some octopus!
Grilled Octopus is one of my favorite dishes ever. Looks like you nailed this one. I'll give it a go as soon as I can find a proper tentacle.
"we did not beat the octopus on a rock".....lmao..
That is very useful method and traditional in fishing villages.
You are the Poseidon of Decidin'. I love this guy
"If you want this today, make sure you started it yesterday" thanks let me get my time machine ready
Great video. I'm Spanish but never knew how to cook it. Thanks for your clip.
I love the reflection of the ceiling on the top of the pot. Looks kind of like an ornate coffered ceiling.. :0)
Octopus is very very good. I like it most in salad. It so delitious something best in the world in terms of taste❤️
7:30 - There it is...
He reached two million! So glad, he deserves every view.

Suction cups are the best part. :) Thinking of adding some Spanish chorizo when I try this.
Thanks for teaching me stuff dad
Chef John is the only thing that will keep me up this late
Play this in 0.5 speed and listen to the drunk chef

Thanks Chef. Awesome demonstration. I decided to try some your way and Sous Vide. Sous Vide will be done tomorrow. What was I thinking. Your method was too easy and very flavorful.
Mouth watering...
I had some pulpo in Barcelona a few months ago and it was the best seafood I've ever had!
Chef. Go to bed. Youre tired.
Awesome! NEXT MISSION: teach us how to cook bone marrow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Want to do it...need guidance..you're my best teacher! Please hurry!
>And add some Italian parsley
Me as a Spaniard: "TRIGGERED"
Beautiful dish
Simple and honest
How many tickles does it take to laugh at a chef jon video?Ten tickles:)
Even chef John can't make this dish look yummy.
Oh god yessss there's only one place in Dallas that makes this and it's soo good!! The most tender octopus ever!
Melissa Huynh
Shut up Melissa
You don't need no award, you are the best and should know it
Chef john Im trying to sleep
No you're not!
Azure Flash hehe
I think the octopus wud say the same
That looks amazing. I love grilled Octopus and recently found a fish market in my area that carries it. I will try this soon!
You are the Man of your cayenne.
I used all your ingredients, but I cooked it with the pressure cooker, speed up the cook tome. It was delicious .
Reminds me of one of my favorite game, Day of the Tentacle.
Cool story, bro.
I love octopus and Spanish cuisine.
I found many Octopus but none of them spoke spanish.
My go to octopus recipe, thanks chef Jhon
Chinese waiter to customer..."How was your octopus"...
Customer "It was Rubbery..."
Waiter "oh thank you very much"
Nice video chef John !
Actually I am from Galicia, the place of Spain where eating octopus is the tradition. I loved your version of the dish, it has much more steps than ours ! We just boil the octopus in a cupper pot until is tender. Then we cut it into small chunks and make a dressing with just olive oil and spanish smoked paprika, spicy or not, up to the customer. Drizzle the dressing over the octopus and sprinkle some kosher salt, and you´re done !. t usually comes with a side called "cachelos", which consist of potatoes with their skin boiled in the octopus broth.
Search for spanish raxo, It is nice too, and keep uploading Spanish videos Sir !
I can't eat octopus. They're so elegant, mysterious and smart. And it looks kinda gross on a plate.
But I watched it anyway.
Well: this is sooo easy. And it looks like a perfect recipe to me. Can't wait to try this out! What I know already is that you're absolutely right about all that fuzz about chewy and rubber-like squid or octopus: It will be still soft if you cook or fry it for just a few minutes. Then they will turn chewy if you've been cooking them too long to keep this stage. (They are beeing served even raw in sushi or as sashimi. Just be sure to have best quality for that.) But if you keep cooking them for 45min or even 1 hour, they will turn soft again. So if your squid or octopus turned out rubber-like and chewy and your recipe allows you this option: throw 'em back into your pot or pan. With the sauce. And keep cooking it quite a bit longer. And you'll find it as soft and tender as wished for.
Thanks again for this wonderful recipe!
let me know when Chef John makes food normal people can make in their everyday lives....
It was freaking me out until the end and it looks so good, a bit crispy and sweet and I think I would have had a piece and I'm sure I would have loved it. It was the 'whole arm' bit that did me in and the suckers. But once they were not in my face, I wish I could have tasted it. You did amazing in introducing me to something new. Maybe, I'll try it when I get a chance next time.
I tried octopus once never liked it but yours looks like it would taste good
The RedNeckThug20 curious too...
Gordon Cowell yes it was and it had a really fowel taste
The RedNeckThug20 You mean foul? Maybe it wasnt cooked well, nicely cooked and fresh octopus should be tender and sweet.
Maybe if you stopped being racist you would like it.
Heavenly! Great job. We are trying a similar recipe and it look like I cooked ours too long. I’m hoping it will still be ok after we grill it.
Keep Them Puns coming!
I was following your recipes for quite long time , but this is my favorite so far. Thanks, from the beautiful City of Miami!
We need to initiate a well being check on Chef, wheres he been?!
You are the Spartacus of how to cook your octopus!
never had octopus before
Mr Not That Famous Wow I really find you everywhere... I know this sounds annoying... But why not stream you doing a recipe?
If done right, it can be very delicious.
Just don't ever eat that octopus crap from a Chinese buffet.
Absolutely love that knife
10 bucks says the key demographic for this video has not watched this video and everyone else has.
Chef i love Your recipes!!!I made already few dishes used Your YT channel.Your movies are owesome,short ( not boring),very helpful.I'm thinking about cooking octopus,since i went to my Cuba vacation.
So far,the best octopus i ever ate was in wine restaurant in Miami.Very small,local winery with restaurant.
I think,that You are the great Cook,Shef.And of course person.Marek.
You are the Spartacus of your Octopus.
Thank you so much, Chef John! I've always wanted to cook something with octopus and I think this is gonna be the one.
I don't eat food that's more intelligent than a lot of voters.
Pulpo en español. When I vacationed in Mexico, most of the restaurants near the resort had pulpo on the menu. However, we were all told not to eat outside the resort, and I was used to having it at Japanese restaurants anyway. I'll give this a try. Thanks, John!
