We went to Greece a few months ago and I actually tried octopus even tho it looks super creepy to me. It was delicious! So now i need to make it myself. Im super excited to make this for the first time! It looks really easy.
@@tuffgong2568 I couldnt believe I loved it. It still looks creepy to me, lol! Its funny cuz I saw it served to someone at a restaurant and they had the entire thing on a platter. I said, um.... no thank you! I do not want that. I only want the legs/tentacles, please 🤣🤣 So, im still very particular so I dont know how easy it will be for me to cook it. Its gonna be slimy, etc 😬 But, it needs to be boiled, then grilled to get the proper texture. And it was served with some olive oil, butter, lemon sauce 😋
Had the most amazing octopus in Mexico legitimately 7ish servings in 2 visits to the restaurant...I've been craving it ever since it was perfection hope using your recipe i can copycat it 😋
I just caught one in the greek seaside! Smaller than yours, but we'll prepare it like that! Great channel by the way! 8k subscribers?! WTH?! Instant fan!
Salt scrub then rinse to get rid of slime and funk, turn head inside out for cooking, scrape off the skin after boiling if not grilling. This does really look bangin though...
What is the purpose of dunking the octopus in boiling water to curl the tentacles first before boiling, rather than just dunking the whole octopus in boiling water? I don't really see a difference in the added step.
The tentacles curl uniformly and not bunched up under the body when you drop the whole thing in. The uniform spread helps it cook evenly, and makes it easy to cut up after it is cooked.
I really laughed about the gorey warning: I love octopus so much but my father is sickened just by the looks of it or just knowing that there is some in the fridge. Snails are just fine for him by the way...😄
it's one of those animals that definitely is controversial for a reason. i do like to enjoy it once in a while and i am glad you liked the video! i know its tough for some to watch who are sensitive to eating animals!
Where is your apron? Wow, I’m really impressed with you not being phased by cleaning & dunking Mr Lincoln in boiling water. Good job! I’m dying to try this.
Thank you! What do you mean? When you boil it it’s to tenderize the inside of the meat. Then, you can grill or sear on a very high heat to get that outer crisp!
looks amazing i wana try wow ,nice !!! ur so pretty too,u really sound and behave like miley cirus haha have anyone told oyu this nice channel u really deserve more subs !!!! 4.13 not fair haha keep on the good work love ur sense of humor !

Cleaning Octo is not that bad. The other vids I watched stated to clean the head first. Some said breaking the ink sack can be a pain. Good job. I had not thought to tenderizing with something hard. Still, you are grilling versus stir fry.
So glad to see that not all good looking women are prissy or too worried about the ick factor with regards to octopus. Usually they’d be repulsed by this, let alone consume it. But not this lady. She knows she’s got a piece of special treat food, and can’t wait to enjoy making it into a dinner. Great to see 😎
It’s not gory. Don’t say that to people that turns them off. See them butcher cow a pig a lamb that is gory cleaning octopus or a fish is not that horrible
Which ingredients don’t you know about? Babaganoush is a very common eggplant spread that’s served in middle eastern cultures and zaatar is a middle eastern spice blend that you can substitute for whatever you want. You can sub both those things ! I just love middle eastern cuisine
It is delicious, but I have a problem eating intelligent, very intelligent, animals. Lobsters I have no problem with - their closest relatives are cockroaches, and no one on the planet has any problem stepping on a roach. Go figure.
Gory? Sweetheart, you're talking to the guy that grew up watching Horror movies, ever seen Lucio Fulci Movies? Watch them and you'll know what gory is with a captial G.
It would be more interesting if the lady would just show us how to clean the damn thing, rather than keep talking about the gory details of cleaning an octopus. She makes the ask look and sound more distasteful than it really is.
We went to Greece a few months ago and I actually tried octopus even tho it looks super creepy to me. It was delicious! So now i need to make it myself. Im super excited to make this for the first time! It looks really easy.
Thank you for this comment, octopus really creeps me out, but I want to try it if for nothing else because octopus is incredibly healthy.

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD.I BOUGHT ONE THIS WEEK,IN MY FREEZER FOR NOW.

A simple recipe but looks tasty. Definitely try it this weekend.

Looks great. Gotta go out and get me some octopus today.

I just caught one in the greek seaside! Smaller than yours, but we'll prepare it like that! Great channel by the way! 8k subscribers?! WTH?! Instant fan!

Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Salt scrub then rinse to get rid of slime and funk, turn head inside out for cooking, scrape off the skin after boiling if not grilling. This does really look bangin though...
Looks delicious. I wish I could try it, I just purchased some, and that's how I found you. Thx for sharing 👍
What is the purpose of dunking the octopus in boiling water to curl the tentacles first before boiling, rather than just dunking the whole octopus in boiling water? I don't really see a difference in the added step.
I guess it tendorises it

Tempers the octopus
@@renegade776 Interesting.
It helps to scratch your itchy balls with them 😂
Goin to try this recipe this week thank you. Looks refreshing.
You are so welcome’
Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you like it!
I really laughed about the gorey warning: I love octopus so much but my father is sickened just by the looks of it or just knowing that there is some in the fridge. Snails are just fine for him by the way...😄
Funny, I was just thinking it's the opposite for me.
it's one of those animals that definitely is controversial for a reason. i do like to enjoy it once in a while and i am glad you liked the video! i know its tough for some to watch who are sensitive to eating animals!
GORGEOUS DISH.
Looks awesome! .. I have 1.5lbs of raw tenticles only ... would I boil these like you did for say 15 mins prior to cooling / grilling? .. ty :)
I chuckled. Great presentation style
thank you!!
She's stunning. The food looks good as well.
I love octopus. Love the video!
thank you so much!
Nice! Will catch myself a octupus and prepare it like this, thank you👍
wooo let me know how it turns out!
Wow tht looks amazing!!! Great video!
thank you!!
Got some boiling right now, first time making it, thank you for the video.
Was it delicious?
Did you like it?
Thank you very much for your videos. It is very interesting to look at you and listen to your recipes))) you are beautiful, good luck to you)
Thank you!!!
Just tried this, amazing!!!
yay!!!!
Looks delish!
thank you!!!
You didn’t talk much about the cleaning, running it underwater; will that get all the slime off it? Great recipe btw
You are a savage!!!! Love it.
hahaha thank you!
Wow😍 yummy😋 Are you Middle Eastern?
i am not! but my husbands side of the family is from Algeria where they enjoy similar flavor profiles as middle eastern cuisine
Delicious! I adore Octopuses?
Where is your apron? Wow, I’m really impressed with you not being phased by cleaning & dunking Mr Lincoln in boiling water. Good job! I’m dying to try this.
let me know if you do!! thank you!
Its nice to watch
Amazing , could it be done crispy or it won't work since it is jelly
Thank you! What do you mean? When you boil it it’s to tenderize the inside of the meat. Then, you can grill or sear on a very high heat to get that outer crisp!
@@SkylerBouchard thanks i meant does it also get crunchy from the inside incase you over cooked it
I subscribed just because of this video... and my fear of messing up my first octopus.
Me too!
aw thank you so much! you got this!
You made it very easy for me yummy I'm going to make mine now 😋
yay! let me know how it turned out!
I really dig calamari, and the only time I ever had octopus I loved it…
Is it tender ?
Thanks so much for sharing !!!
thank you for watching!!!
So awesome
2358 looking good!!! Mr Lincoln has never looked this tasty!!!
You are so pretty. I’ve been wanting to try to grill octopus but it’s always intimated my old bum. You make it seem easy, but I reckon it’s not.
aw thank you so much! i promise you, follow this and you will be able to do it. If I could do it for the first time in this video, you can too!
Wow I try it.😮
Thanks for sharing ❤
thank you for watching!
I like your videos 👍👍👍
20minutes - Is it enough? I tried it once and it was like a rubber
Looks killer!!!
thank you!! let me know if you try
I won’t eat clam, muscles, oysters, snail or conch but I’ll eat octopus because if it’s rubbery texture.
And yes! The darn thing looks alien.
If you don’t want to deal with the head can you just cut it off and toss it when butchering?
Yes! Or ask the seafood people to cut it off so it doesn’t go to waste. You’ll still have to remove the beak tho
Yes!
looks amazing i wana try wow ,nice !!! ur so pretty too,u really sound and behave like miley cirus haha have anyone told oyu this nice channel u really deserve more subs !!!! 4.13 not fair haha keep on the good work love ur sense of humor !

Friendly advice, please clean your grill before cooking anything if you don't want
to get sick
the grill has been cleaned many times its impossible to get it immaculate every time and also the heat kills any bacteria thank you!
1:21 is the other octopus named Lynn or Lori
hmmmmm lori i think
I ❤ octopus!!!!!
Damn. I’m having Lincoln tonight
😂
lmfaoooo
Cleaning Octo is not that bad. The other vids I watched stated to clean the head first. Some said breaking the ink sack can be a pain. Good job. I had not thought to tenderizing with something hard. Still, you are grilling versus stir fry.
i felt guilty the whole time llol but it really isnt that daunting
I ate it last week in Porto. Very delicious
right its so goodddddd
Thank you beautiful 😘
thank u for watching!
So glad to see that not all good looking women are prissy or too worried about the ick factor with regards to octopus.
Usually they’d be repulsed by this, let alone consume it.
But not this lady. She knows she’s got a piece of special treat food, and can’t wait to enjoy making it into a dinner.
Great to see 😎
well thank you! very nice of you !
I adore octopus, it's my soul animal but I also I love to eat them lol
right its so hard to choose which side to be on
What was so gruesome?
Yeaaaaa, I’ll stick to the restaurant lol
lol i get that
looks delish Sky!
thank you!
this is like a horror movie
Chef Skyler, lets express some maturity and professionalism here.....lol
Just as a fun fact: the plural of octopus is octopuses. It's not like cactus. It's like walrus. 😆
NEEDED THIS! Thank you 🤣
You are so adorable 😂
lol thank you for watching!!!
Great video. 👍. New Subscriber here.

You remind me of penny from big bang theory, awesome recipe!!
thank you!
My grandfather said you are super gorgeous
FFS get to starting the procedure.
Take a shot each time she says gruesome
Love this game
It’s not gory. Don’t say that to people that turns them off. See them butcher cow a pig a lamb that is gory cleaning octopus or a fish is not that horrible
Octopi???? You mean octopuses?
Octopus is even better than squid
i do agree
Half of them ingredients I don't even know about to. Too bougie for my little kitchen
Which ingredients don’t you know about? Babaganoush is a very common eggplant spread that’s served in middle eastern cultures and zaatar is a middle eastern spice blend that you can substitute for whatever you want. You can sub both those things ! I just love middle eastern cuisine
We’re judging you 🦑
i understand
😂
You don't need to pound the octopus the three dip is ridiculously please STOP. Cook it just like corn beef comes out perfect every time
It is delicious, but I have a problem eating intelligent, very intelligent, animals. Lobsters I have no problem with - their closest relatives are cockroaches, and no one on the planet has any problem stepping on a roach. Go figure.
i understand that !
Octopuses not octopi.
thank you!
I did the same thing. It was actually fucking terrible
Weird! I wonder what happened
You should have me fun
Gory? Sweetheart, you're talking to the guy that grew up watching Horror movies, ever seen Lucio Fulci Movies? Watch them and you'll know what gory is with a captial G.
Hahahahaha
OMG, just shock-freeze it to get it soft.
i have not heard of this method!
@@SkylerBouchard It`s a trick my Mom uses to soften it.
Thank you for at least walking threw besides MMM. Lol really
thanks for watching!
It would be more interesting if the lady would just show us how to clean the damn thing, rather than keep talking about the gory details of cleaning an octopus. She makes the ask look and sound more distasteful than it really is.
honestly it really is gory especially bc they're very intelligent animals. if you dont like the humor just mute it haha
The world has gone gaga . People not comfortable eating or watching a normal cooking process are you guys cucu
Really if your sanative so also say if your allergic so I stopped there thumbs down
blue contact lenses?
And you don't know to cut off and clean the head? Oh yes, you also don't know know to tenderize octopus before cooking? Lol
Huh?
Why are you getting so dramatic and just clean the friggin thing and stop editorializing just get to the point
👌
I fear this comment is more dramatic than anything else 😂
Good food. Probably a decent recipe. But who is this goofy person? Very unprofessional.
oh im sorry i didnt know having fun and having a sense of humor in addition to expertise was unprofessional lol never trust anyone who has fun!!!!!
Please take your rings off when you cook.
It’s my wedding ring I’m not gonna take it off 😅
