About Octopus, cooked
Cooked octopus is octopus flesh that has been heat-treated until tender. It is usually pale to pinkish, with a mild, slightly briny flavour and a springy, firm texture; the skin may be left on and can be darker than the flesh. Tenderness varies with the cooking method and duration.
It is sold whole, in tentacles, or in cut pieces, either chilled or otherwise preserved. Cooked octopus can be served cold or reheated and used in a range of preparations. This entry refers to the cooked ingredient, not raw octopus or a seasoned prepared dish.
