How to clean octopus - cooking tutorial

The octopus can be prepared in different ways: fried, boiled, stewed or as a salad with potatoes... Sonia shows us how to clean and eat it at its best, on the cooking tutorial by YellowSaffron!

The octopus has lean meat and it can be prepared in different ways: fried, boiled, stewed or as a salad with potatoes. I'll give you some advice to eat it at its best.
Let's see together how:
If you buy a frozen octopus, the sac is already cleaned.
If the octopus is fresh, you need to remove the entrails in this way.
Make a cut on the sac at eye level and cut off the eyes with a knife.
Remove the beak in this way.
Now tenderize the octopus by beating with a kitchen hammer, in this way the meat won't be chewy.
Wash the octopus under running water.
To curl the tentacles, dip in boiling water for 2-3 times. In this way your dish will look nicer.
Now the octopus is ready to be cooked in boiling water.

@jaybee863 Unless you are a vegetarian, you have no right to say anything. Plus that octopus isn't even alive. It's long dead.

@jaybee863 i think you're right, but all animals must be respected. However, if you chooose to eat animals, you have to cook it. This video only teach how to cook an octopus. Ethical judgements come a bit late now ;)
