Pickled Octopus

Pickled Octopus

Grill it, Pickle it, Poach it.... so many different ways to eat octopus! As many of you who follow me on social media know, I don't boil octopus before grilling it. I believe you can achieve a tender result without the pre-boiling method as long as you prepare and grill it right.
