Clean Octopus Hands |Frozen Box | Wild caught | 900g

Your Octopus hands will arrive frozen, simply store in your freezer (up to 3 months) and use at your leisure. It is best to remove product from packaging to defrost, simply place on a tray in your fridge and allow to thaw slowly.

Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed seperately or cut into smaller portions etc.

Octopuses are fast growing with a short life span of 1 – 2 years. This property alone makes them a very sustainable catch. Because these animals are so elusive, it is incredibly difficult to get an accurate sense of their population levels. However, due to their resourcefulness, their populations have been shown to be incredibly resilient with a low vulnerability to fishing pressures.

Easy Octopus Braai

Did you know that octopus is great on the braai? Our partner site The Fishwife shows us how. You will need:

• 1 Greenfish octopus hands pack
• Olive Oil
• Crushed Garlic
• 1 Lemon
• Salt & pepper
• Fresh Parsley

Preparation:

1. Place the octopus in a pot on the stove and cover with water. Bring to the boil and boil for 45 minutes.
2. Remove the octopus from the pot and place into a dish, drizzle with olive oil, add some crushed garlic and a crack of salt & pepper.
3. Allow to marinade and cool down for at least an hour.
4. Once marinaded, cut the legs apart to make 8 easy strips to braai. Place back in the marinade until ready to cook.
5. On a medium to high heat, braai the octopus for roughly 4 minutes per side.
6. Remove from the fire and squeeze over the juice of a whole lemon as well as some more seasoning should it require.
7. Serve with my lemon mayonnaise if desired.
