About Octopus, raw
Raw octopus is uncooked flesh from an octopus, commonly sold whole or as separated tentacles and other portions. It is naturally pale with darker skin that may be retained; its flesh is firm and elastic, with a mild, marine flavour. It is not equivalent in texture to octopus that has been tenderized or cooked.
It is generally cooked before serving, as heat changes the flesh’s texture and moisture. Market forms may be fresh or frozen, and may differ in whether they are cleaned, skinned, or cut. Those handling and processing differences matter when describing the raw ingredient.
