HOW TO MAKE GRILLED OCTOPUS for beginners! Clean/Butcher/Boil/ Season and Grill | Skyler Bouchard

[@MILLER2607]

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]

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.

[@MILLER2607]

@@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 😋

[@bartekbielinski9015]

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!

[@raywares7342]

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

[@Black_Mamba_Now]

Loved the video and your editing!! I’m subscribed!! Good luck with your channel, Chef 🙏👍

[@portwolf7631]

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

[@SkylerBouchard]

let me know what you think!

[@morrit33]

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...

[@kma4835]

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 😋

[@bobbieboteler5587]

Same here; after trying it in Mexico I was completely hooked. I then had it in Italy and again LOVED IT!!! I buy it wherever I see it sold - mostly at Whole Foods.

[@stargaming1635]

Looks pretty good! And pretty straight forward! I am gonna give it a try today 💙

[@SkylerBouchard]

Thank you! Let me know how it goes!!!

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 :)

Excellent presentation! Thank you!

[@judygarland7611]

GORGEOUS DISH.

[@MusicforMe123]

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.

[@SlowmoChris]

I guess it tendorises it

[@twenty5charlie]

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.

[@renegade776]

Tempers the octopus

I chuckled. Great presentation style

[@SkylerBouchard]

thank you!!

[@dianamor4611]

Amazing , could it be done crispy or it won't work since it is jelly

[@SkylerBouchard]

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!

[@dianamor4611]

@@SkylerBouchard thanks i meant does it also get crunchy from the inside incase you over cooked it

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

You didn’t talk much about the cleaning, running it underwater; will that get all the slime off it? Great recipe btw

[@brettjados1526]

So awesome

[@FlipTekk23]

20minutes - Is it enough? I tried it once and it was like a rubber

[@ellenerpenbeck4599]

If you don’t want to deal with the head can you just cut it off and toss it when butchering?

[@SkylerBouchard]

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

[@MILLER2607]

Yes!

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...😄

[@Kdija89]

Funny, I was just thinking it's the opposite for me.

[@SkylerBouchard]

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!

I really dig calamari, and the only time I ever had octopus I loved it…

[@billybonez4293]

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.

[@SkylerBouchard]

i felt guilty the whole time llol but it really isnt that daunting

You remind me of penny from big bang theory, awesome recipe!!

[@helianvejuka7172]

Friendly advice, please clean your grill before cooking anything if you don't want to get sick

[@SkylerBouchard]

the grill has been cleaned many times its impossible to get it immaculate every time and also the heat kills any bacteria thank you!

[@Domzdream]

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 😎

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
