I love Greek food and culture!!!!!!!

[@telosfd]

I have to say thanks, i appreciate it.

[@thedoomslayer5739]

We love you too

[@jhb61249]

Greek cuisine = anything plus lemon and olive oil !!! Perhaps garlic and/or oregano. This octopus look great. I also love Greek fried squid!

[@VideoSnooper]

It’s the magic ingredient:)

[@gregb5876]

Pressure cook for 25 minutes first, then grill... Makes it amazingly tender. Still firm but not rubbery.

[@VideoSnooper]

That might do the trick to Tenderise ! Good tip.

I live in West Virginia but I wish I lived near the Ocean I've always loved seafood especially anything fromt he mediteranean

[@josephkool8411]

I live in Detroit you can still get Octopus anywhere. It won't be as fresh, but it's still good.

[@NordicNjal]

VideoSnooper do you now how much a pound is? We live far from amarica so use kilograms!

[@VideoSnooper]

Francois O'Kennedy Pound = 454g. So general rule 2 pounds = 1 kg

[@NordicNjal]

Thats an easy conversion. Thank you and sorry for taking it out here... I just get ticked of sometimes when it is a video or something informative and it is not metric. I feel if you speak to global audience you need to use, global terms. When the US gets nuked no one would no what a fuck is going on because of that!

[@cameikasimon3935]

Bought one for this Memorial Day weekend! Can't wait, I'm going to follow your video. Your octopus is HUGE! The ones available here in the US are frozen, and usually from Portugal or Spain.

[@BarryAdams777]

YUMMY!!! In Florida USA, that’s a $55 octopus 🐙 being cooked on a $10 grill using $2 worth of charcoal.

[@VideoSnooper]

They’re not cheap in Sydney Australia either!

[@Roxy92593]

Not much cheaper in SC 5.25 per pound. They normally only sell small one and are so hard to find. Not many people know just how good octopus, eel, and squid are. It's really sad.

[@paulhartmann6473]

Damnnn....... I catch them in Hawaii

[@mrsannette7]

Barry Adams yep this would cost a minimum of $60AUD per kilo in Australia at Christmas time. So this piece could cost as much as $90-$120 ( looked to be around 2kg) at this time of year. Prices are crazy here!

[@zero.clouds.]

I live in the Torres Straits in Australia's Far North Queensland and you can walk along the reef when the tides low at night and catch them by hand or stick them with a spear. The largest one I caught was a meter long.

[@redbone7040]

[@krisb3429]

My mate does the Greek festival octopus. His trick is same marinade , but no pre cook in the pot. What he does is on the charcoal, then when the skin starts pulling away he lays a sheet of alfoil to cover the occy. It steams under that.

[@VideoSnooper]

Good tip - I’ll give that a try next time !

[@qccdstein]

[@VideoSnooper]

Christmas time perfect for some in Australia being summer !!

[@angeldelacruz7254]

cut the darn octupus on a board before the grill.........

[@VideoSnooper]

Angel that can be done on a flat plate but cutting them later on a open grill allows you to turn the whole piece without having to turn many little pieces. Also you don’t lose them through the grill.

[@peedubu]

We Aussies do it back to front. What’s yr point?

[@chrismanavis4505]

NEVER NEVER BOIL OCTOPUS IN WATER.PLACE IN POT WITH GLASS OF VINEGAR.AND THAT IS ALL.OCTOPUS HAS ITS OWN WATER.BOIL TILL ALL WATER IS GONE.

[@VideoSnooper]

Chris thanks for the comment - it’s just another technique which possibly will come out similar - I’ll give that a go next time to test it out. I do boil it just to prevent having to bbq it for too long in the grill. Others also place it in oven for 15’mins in low heat to achieve the same result l. In Santorini the man cooking at a tavern also said to freeze it and then cook when thawed as it breaks down the toughness.

[@NpgSymboL]

Yes I do a bit of red wine vinegar, pepper corns and bay leaf or two. No water

[@VimanaFusion]

Can i do this without wine?

[@VideoSnooper]

Sure can - the basting adds enough flavours

[@randomfamilyman4876]

[@luismarrero1625]

What was the one ingredient that I didn’t catch it lemon,olive oil ,and what else in the cup before you brushed it on the octopus

[@VideoSnooper]

Hi it was dried oregano.

[@JOEBASS100]

Why not cut up the octopus before on the grill ?

[@VideoSnooper]

I do it this way as it is easier to handle and means less pieces to turn - but you can do it either way- as long as it is cooked well and tastes delicious!

[@gurkanbaser3528]

YUMMIEEEE..... I HOPE OUZO WAS LESVOS....

[@VideoSnooper]

+gürkan Baser ouzo Mini - from Lesvos!

[@slida65]

Try drying the octopus in the sun for days and then pop it on the grill .

[@VideoSnooper]

I’ve seen that done in the taverns in Greek islands - I have never tried that in the city - would hate to think of what will land on it.

[@atik17]

Right drink, wrong glass

[@muddgoat5900]

Your failling to say boiling octopus will stop it being chewy !!

[@Stenopushispidus]

yo should've cut it before placing on the grill

[@VideoSnooper]

I’ve done it that way also ! I don’t cut it to smaller pieces until the end - this way you can start to take off thinner part of legs as they cook faster.

[@tad2ik]

Don't you add salt?

[@VideoSnooper]

I don’t add salt - but it’s up to individual taste

Watching you cut the octopus AFTER placing it on the grill grate was painful! There are many ways to prepare octopus, but for goodness' sake, cut the tentacles before placing them on a grill!

[@aaabbbccc5518]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@0401111111a]

if i was u. i would cut the octopus before i put it on the bbq. its crazy to cut it there and burn ur fingers

[@VideoSnooper]

joseph bechara that's fine but then you are turning lots of small pieces. So easier to cut last as less turning.

[@kingsfordcharcoal230]

You should of pulled the skin off before boiling

[@VideoSnooper]

Personal preference - the skin adds flavour and isn't tough when cooked this way.
