Octopus: The Most Delicate Sea Morsel
The Adriatic hides some of the greatest delicacies. One is surely the largest Adriatic cephalopod – octopus. Maybe you have never seen it in the sea, but we’re sure seeing it on the plate makes you smile.
Salty and Powerful
The body of the octopus is a strong muscle that has to smell of the sea if fresh. A firm and tough flesh is covered by moist skin with no mucus. Salty itself, it requires no additional salt. The flesh of the female octopus is much tastier, but the head is less consumed than tentacles, which usually decorate our plates. However, if it’s small, the octopus can be eaten whole! It’s very rich in nutrients. Therefore, it’s an excellent source of B vitamins, omega-3 acids, selenium, iron and potassium.
A Grain of Effort for a Perfect Taste
This seafood delicacy with a peculiar taste and texture requires careful preparation. Firstly, it should be cleaned thoroughly. However, according to the advice of the world’s top chefs, purple and jelly-like skin should be left as it is in order to acquire a full taste. Once cleaned, it should be placed in the freezer for the ice to freeze the muscular structure. If large, octopus can be roasted and cooked while the small ones can be fried and grilled.
