Ace, I eat octopus alot. I always aggressively rub them coarse sea-salt for a minute and rinse immediately. This removes all the slime. Freezing them for at least a day will tenderize them. Actually octopus contract and toughen as soon as they hit boiling water. The longer you boil them, the more tender they become. You will see this when making my Ramen soup with Octopus chunks. For my soup, I only use Samyang Buldak (mean Hot Chicken in Korean) noodles, but in a pinch or for those wimps that can't handle any sicy foods, you can use the regular Maruchan Ramen shrimp or chicken flavor at Walmart. My favorite Samyang Buldak noodles are Carbo (pink pack), Cheesy (yellow pack), Jjajang (green pack), 1x Fire Noodles (black pack) and 2x Fire Noodle (red pack). We go through over 200 pack per year. I buy through Amazon but be careful some sellers are literally thieves and price gouge. Try to buy from sellers like "Z Force Trading" or those selling bulk 5-packs for less than $10 or $2 per pack. For my family size soup, I boil 2 packs of the Samyang noodles in 4.5 cups of water for 10min. Do not drain!! I then add the included sauce packets, (1) tablespoon of onion powder, (1)tablespoon of garlic powder, (2)cans Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup, (1)can of pre-cooked dice potatoes, (2)Tablespoons of butter (optional) and (1/2)teaspoon of White Pepper (optional). Simmer for 5min. If too thick add 1/2cup of hot water. Last add 1lb/450g of raw octopus chunks and simmer for an additional 10min and you're done!! This recipe works with ANY seafood, especially Shrimp or Baby Whole Clams, but only simmer for 5min!! Sometimes I add a can of mushrooms and sometimes I add a can of pre-cooked dice carrots. Just remember the Samyang BULDAK noodle are spicy, but not draining the water and the soup recipe as a whole, dilutes down the spicyness a lot!!
Quick advice from a french diver : freeze it for several hours, boil it (1h per kg) then put in on the grill until the extremities become crispy. Add some garlic and olive oil and enjoy it !
Aloha, Here in Hawaii, to make octopus tender we: pound the octopus in hawaiian salt, which removes all the slimy foam or boil for 5-10 mins in your favorite beer, then cook... Next time try cutting legs into single pieces, then grill; this we call it pūlehu tako...
Watching you snorkel in the waters Hawaii again gives me good memories of the old series, I remember around 3-5 years ago the first video I watched on this channel was just like this, truly a blessing!
You have the best TH-cam channel, this is truly a amazing family friendly environment. Your a amazing Christian and you truly show the light of Jesus through your videos! Love you man😊
hey man, huge italian fan here!!! I wanted to give you a little advice on how to properly cook octopus!!1 italians have been eating octopus for thousands of years and the recipes are just amazing!! you should put a bown of water to boil up, put some salt and olive oil in the water, once the water boils, pu the octopus in it at low heat for 40 minutes. when its done, just slice it, put it with some boiled potatoes, add salt, pepper, olives and olive oil!!
Hey acer, a really good tip to make the octopus less chewy!!! First dispatch the octopus and find a nice flat rock, then start bashing and rubbing it against the rock and white foam will come out of the octopus. This method removes the chewyness of the skin and if you do it for a while it will start removing the skin and this also tendencies the octopus, do this for about 10 mins minimum and your octopus won't be chewy at all Hope this helps😊
Hey braddah! Love watching your videos. Please respect our wildlife laws. Stay 20ft from da Honu (turtles). With the amount of views that you get you influence a lot of people. Don't want other tourists thinking that it's ok to get that close to turtles, seals and dolphins. Malama the Aina bradda. Respect the land. Keep up the great videos. 🤙🏽
Hey man great video as always but I'm a cook and I was gonna give u a couple tips for tender non rubbery octopus so my favorite way takea a little time but so tender - 1).start by marinating in. Whole milk the night before 2). Then blanch in boiling water for no more than 30 seconds 3). And last but not least bake the octopus in a dry covered pan for (brace yourself) for 4 to 5 hours at only 200° Fahrenheit or until tender then cool slowly in there own juices Give it a shot it's super easy if not a little time consuming
Another awesome video Ace as always. This may sound weird, try and put the octopus in jam and a little bit of soy sauce and two table spoon of olive oil, just marinade the octopus for two hours should do the trick but overnight is the best. Don't mind the jam that might get into the meat of the octopus because you won't taste it, just clean it and start cooking or just cook it straight from the marinade. It will be the most tender octopus you would ever eat mate.
Such a good TH-camr kid friendly just laying in bed watching ace catch and cooks thank u so much for posting all this content and I’m looking forward to try your seasoning. I have a question have u ever been down in northdakota a lot of people walleye fish ik ur not a big walleye fishing and bluegill and pike sturgeon carp perch trout and our favorite crawfish so just if u want to check that out thanks for posting all this amazing content
Hey Ace, long time watcher, quick tip with the grill, in India, we cut an onion in half (I’m sure you’ll always have one on hand) stick a fork in the end of the uncut side, dip the cut side in a bit of oil and use that as a brush on the gill, that covers the grill nicely with oil and flavours a tiny bit. Would help when there’s no brush on hand
You guys should bite the tako (octopus) right between the eyes. Puts them out instantly, and make them much easier to handle. instead of wrestling them into that bag alive. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You also need to take the slime off the Tako it will taste thousands of times better. You can use Hawaiian salt or sand just put it on the Tako and strip it off it’s a slow process but worth it. Also you can beat it to tenderize it.
Yes!!! Been impatiently waiting for this series ever since you told us you were going on members only! Can’t wait for the other videos! Keep up the awesome work Ace!
Damn your channel has grown! I just now found your channel again after 4 years! Had forgotten everything, now I'm back to watching the vids again. Keep up the work man
Awesome octopus catch and cook video Ace!! This is what I like to do to tenderize my octopus. I bring the water to a boil, after that I put the octopus in it then I immediately reduce the heat and let it simmer for like 20 minutes per pound of octopus. And then I grill it and it comes out super tender and delicious.
Also do this & if unsure then test with a knife in the thickest part of the octopus. When I was watching that and he said he doesn’t boil it too long other wise it goes rubbery. I immediately said he needs to do the opposite & boil it for much longer! I’m half Mauritian and we do this before making an octopus curry 😍 octopus is so tender it cuts with a spoon
Thanks for sharing ace. And maybe it’s just me but when I cook big octopus like that I boil my water with whatever seasoning you want then add some lime juice or wine for acid then put in the octopus on really low heat for about an hour and a half to 2 hours making sure it never boils and just stays right below a simmer. Then I take it out and shock it in ice water for abut a minute to cool off the skin.And I get perfect octopus every time. And by not having it too hot it keeps the skin on.
Pound it with your hands in a large metal pot with Hawaiian salt till all the slime gets off and it’s tenderized. Then rinse off all the slime then cook how you want to.
I love that you pray before you eat! It's also special to me that you pray before you eat on CAMERA, that's very brave and I like that you do that.
So glad u liked the care package we sent u, we love all ur families videos and look forward to the next one
Thank you so much for that!
U r very welcome!

Yes!! Hawaii vids are my favorite! Meanwhile i’m freezing my butt off trying to catch a fish through the ice
Nothing is better than coming home to a fresh new ace video

The sound of the dolphins and whales is pretty cool
Would love to see some ice fishing videos too! Maybe a collab with mav or fishnmore, that would be sick!
Finally, now i will enjoy it again after waiting three years, hope fishing will go well!
Turtles will often eat small rocks when they're short on certain minerals, like calcium and iron, as well as to help with digesting certain food.

Today I was really wondering when u would make another octopus hunting video, I love this video and the other octopus videos so much
I love how you could hear the whales in the background
Loved the old Hawaii videos. I can't wait to watch this one 🤟
One of the many reasons I love ace and his videos is cuz he explains crap so great and that voice over 👌keep doing what you doing
Let’s goooo!! The Hawaii videos are back!!
I’d love to try fresh cooked octopus sometime. I’ve had fresh raw octopus before and loved it, but the only cooked I’ve had has been frozen.
The coral shrimp were beautiful! Thank you for the AMAZING content you always provide!😃
Oh yeah.
That Red Lobster seasoning is amazing.

Ace nevers fails to make these banger vids!!
The fact you can hear the whales from so far away is amazing to me
The whale soundsss ❤
Love that your a real people person and so nice and down to earth guy
You guys should bite the tako (octopus) right between the eyes. Puts them out instantly, and make them much easier to handle. instead of wrestling them into that bag alive. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Pro tip I’ve learned with octopus or squids, scrape the tentacles before cooking. It removes its suction cups.
Intro and editing was insanely good ace!! Hope you will have some more b-roll like that in future content!
HOLY MACARONI YESSSS HAWAII SERIES IS BACKKKKKK
In Greece, they air dry them a bit, but you can dry them in the fridge, and when you grill them, they get crispy. Use a lot of olive oil!
Let’s go, Hawaii series!
You also need to take the slime off the Tako it will taste thousands of times better. You can use Hawaiian salt or sand just put it on the Tako and strip it off it’s a slow process but worth it. Also you can beat it to tenderize it.
Yes!!! Been impatiently waiting for this series ever since you told us you were going on members only! Can’t wait for the other videos! Keep up the awesome work Ace!
I love the prayer you do over your food

Damn your channel has grown! I just now found your channel again after 4 years! Had forgotten everything, now I'm back to watching the vids again. Keep up the work man
Steeping it in milk overnight and then adding a bit of malt vinegar to the boil will make it as tender as roast lamb ❤
i’ve waited 3 years for this ur finally back in hawaii
Bro don't tell me it's been 3 years...
beautiful video Ace! so fun to watch! Hope to do this with my pops one day, make sure to cherish these moments with your ole ancient!
3:50 they have such a goofy lil face i love em 0_0
underwater vids always hit different
Boil the octopus for 45-50 mins to get it tender. It will not be rubbery. Im Mexican, octopus is a staple in our culture. I eat it regularly.
Your other Hawaii Octopus vid was the first ACE video I saw 3yrs ago. Give the old DevilDog an Oorah!! for me. 👍
My favorite TH-camr
Your videos are the best fishing videos I’ve ever seen!Keep up the good work Ace.
Awesome video shots.. but what sold it for me was the whale sounds in the background. Gave me goosebumps
Awesome octopus catch and cook video Ace!! This is what I like to do to tenderize my octopus.

I’m half Mauritian and we do this before making an octopus curry 😍 octopus is so tender it cuts with a spoon
Ace I cant tell you how many bad nights you have made better with your videos. All the love for you and god bless
I LOVE the Hawaii series so I’m so excited
Nice intro
Really enjoy these Hawaii videos. Great to see them again.
LETS GO. Love the hawaii series, been waiting for it to come back
Oh my, what a treat! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! God is so good!
The clump on the starfish was it’s stomach, they eat by spitting it out and digesting food outside, and then sucking it back up when they’re done
Thanks for sharing ace. And maybe it’s just me but when I cook big octopus like that I boil my water with whatever seasoning you want then add some lime juice or wine for acid then put in the octopus on really low heat for about an hour and a half to 2 hours making sure it never boils and just stays right below a simmer.

Great video. You can hear whales in your underwater shots. Its amazing how far their sound travels.
Pound it with your hands in a large metal pot with Hawaiian salt till all the slime gets off and it’s tenderized. Then rinse off all the slime then cook how you want to.
That kid that made the lures should sell em. They look good for being hand made.
Yoooo!!, FINALLY BACK IN HAWAII! Nice seeing you guys back there :D
Always a good day when Ace uploads!
We need another video man your videos are like watching Netflix
i never get more excited to any other youtuber
Happy to see your making videos again. I always enjoy seeing new videos from you and Micha.
No way your back in Hawaii! The Hawaii series is one of my favorites!
That subscriber should sell those lures. Those are amazing!
Bringing back those Hawaii vibes from your previous vids!
I really want to make it to Hawaii one of these years. Bucket list destination for me!
Boil it for a really long time like 30 min and it becomes extremely tender
I already know this gonna be a banger! Love the videos sir!
