When I was little, my aunt took me to an Italian restaurant that served fried calamari. I had no idea what it was, she told me it was chicken..I ate it, sensed something was different but it was tender and delicious. I loved it!! A few minutes later, she told me it was squid..I was surprised, but I knew she told me it was chicken so I'd be more willing to try it. Cooking squid properly makes all the difference. Ever since that day at that restaurant, I became more and more willing to try new things and can thank my aunt for having me try squid at a young age. This looks delicious! Good job Max

Calamari is great, scungili so-so, but octopus belongs in the same trash can as tripe, brains, and other disgusting concoctions

Here in Turkey, octopus is a delicacy, especially in the west coast. I especially like it when its boiled and seasoned with vinegar, lemon juice and herbs. Grilled octopus is also delicious

I advise you to try a 4th way, my preferred one: simmering in its own water. Take a large pot, bit of butter and oil, slowly saute the chopped vegetables (onion, carrot, celery, ...) and spices (couple whole peppecorns, 1 leaf of laurel, whatever you like but be careful as it can get TOO tasty) over medium fire until caramelised (be patient, it takes time but its a crucial step). Then place the whole octopus over the vegetables, cover, turn fire to minimum … and cook until tender (1-2 hours depending on the size). And then let me know :) PS: after cooling I often grill it.

Speaking for all the fanatics out there, the plural of Octopus is actually Octopodes. Many people think its Octopi because its similar to other Latin words such as Fungi (Fungus), but Octopus is a Greek words with a different rule set for plural ending

Octopus is a staple in southern italian cuisine, it's amazing and so versatile! Always loving your videos Max and Sophie!

The way you spin the pepper shaker was enjoyable to watch keep up the videos man.

This video format is great! I enjoyed seeing one meat cooked in different ways so you can compare them. Please, do more like this (maybe next with chicken breast)! Thanks :)

Iv'e tried octopus before, and I never craved it again until watching this video! Great job!

Wow, how gorgeous do those dishes look!!! Every single version!!!

Love it Max! I wish I could eat it! Thanks for supporting me

I went to Greece a few months back and tried sundried octopus. Best thing I’ve ever had.

Ayo max! My mouth is watering now as usual haha. Love your videos!

my mom used to grill octopus and shrimps for me when I was younger, still one of my favourite foods today!

I don’t even like seafood but I found this really satisfying to watch.

i loved when i was little eating the little boiled tako my grandma would give me, dont get to have it much as an adult but really enjoy octopus, well any mollusk in fact tastes pretty good to me and people should be less afraid to try it

I've been watching for 30 seconds and am already drooling 🤤

I'm not one for octopus as it's usually pretty rubbery. Watching you cook it makes me want to give it another try.

That was awesome mate, I love octopus on the bbq

I’ve love watching your videos.

That’s super cool. Thank you.

The twist on the pepper mill needed a rewind must be full time job being that cool 😎

We come to these videos to watch others enjoy it, the logic man😆

That was the smoothest pepper grinding I’ve ever seen @4:19

That pepper spin thooo So smooth

I like doing baby octopus on the grill with a balsamic marinade and it’s 🔥

Cool. Looks tasty 😋

Smoked octopus is like the only thing they have here so when you said you had no idea how its going to work that alone surprised me lol

Dang max goes crazy w the pepper

Weird question: where’d you get your plates. I’m looking for some plates and this look nice

now i’m craving octopus 😩

Never been interested in octopus before but damn all that looks good lol

im my old restaurant we used to add pineapple juice when boiling and a wine cork ...not 100% sure why the wine cork works butbit does

You might want to try the Apulian "curling" technique! In a nutshell you have to beat violently the squid on the sea rocks until the tentacles effectively "curls" and remain in position even di rested. Such procedure results in an exceptionally tender squid, optimal for eating it raw (as sashimi) or also for cooking!

So do you eat the body/head as well or just the arms/tentacles?

Omg you gotta dry age one and make jerky or something! 😋

Yes

what do you think about using the marinade from the grilled octopus in the sous vide bag? my only experience making octopus did not go well. I blanched the entire octopus in red wine and bay leaves, then marinated it over night, and threw it on the grill the next day but ended up with a chewy, overdone octopus. will try your sous vide method!

Bro when I grow up I wanna be cooking like you!

Looks good may I get a piece

@Aquastarlord217

It wouldn't just puff up and then die since the yeast would die since they consumed all of the fat/sugar of the dough? (depends of the time though)
