I made your Octopus recipe last night and it turned out terrific. I am from Louisiana in the US so I had to add celery. We ate it over Couscous. Thanks for the video.

I have an exam soon and I need to stop watching your videos! But I can't.

Thank you Akis, this recipe is one of the best !

Amazing octopus recipe.

I cooked this for my Greek girlfriend last evening - it's belting, great recipe thank you Akis!

We live in Italy. Cooking octopus in different ways, but had never tasted honey. Thank you for the recipe.

I just tried this recipe yesterday using frozen octopus and I was amazed by how rich and savoury the sauce tasted. The octopus ended up being super tender too!

Thank you Akis, as I just discovered your kitchen, I had the chance to cook Mr. Octobus yesterday night. It was perfect, I’m really grateful and will follow you good friend….

Great guy, continue this! You will soon grow to a big channel by being constant and creative.

Fabulous recipe-bravo

Mr. Octopus! you're awesome

Love it when you do greek recipes. Keep going!

'Mr Octopus' 😂😂😂 Great recipe as always Akis :) Octopus stew was such a big part of growing up Mediterranean for me and it's a dish I always love to make because it's just so nostalgic bringing all those Mediterranean flavours into the kitchen. The honey really does add extra deliciousness to this stew and of course the fresh herbs 🐙

O Akis you've done it again

Mister Octopus looks so good !!!

Tried this tonight, it was beautiful.

Amazing dish melts in your mouth

More recipes with Mr. Octopus please. :-)

Mr, Octa-poos lol You the man Akis!

Θέλουμε περισσότερες συνταγές με νηστίσιμα φαγητά. Είσαι ωραίος.

Must be awesome being apart of akis camera crew yum

I never cooked octopus before because I didn't know how. But now I will try it for sure 😀

Hi I just find you video two days ago we love octopus and all sea food but this recipe is toooo die for 🤗

That looks incredible!!

Wow! Yum! Love your videos

Your phrasing " Mr. Octopus" definately helps psychologically prepare for that slightly scary moment, having that respect enhancing corpse lying in front of you on the cutting board. Since I trust you completely ( and isn't this whole cooking-video buisness all about trust?) I will follow your advice and head for that shorter cooking time. Did once a Raymond Blanc recipe with squid that turned out nice, but a little too soft. Thank you very much, I enjoy every video and every bit of it!

It looked delicious. I'm going to attempt to make it for a holiday party at work Monday.

Love from Serbia, u are the BEST🎊❤🙏😁

If you have a local fishmonger, you should be able to order "a great Mr. Octopus" from them that will arrive fresh on the day you specify. When I was a young bride (almost 50 years ago now), we had no local fishmonger. However, my father in law would host a summer clam bake each year and he'd contact a fishmonger in "the big city". That shop would fly in to our closest airport the order of clams, crab, shrimp, and lobster and my father in law would drive to the airport and pick it up. It wasn't cheap to do that, though.

One MercilessMing What a sweet memory! Thank you for the story and the tip! I live far from waters where Octopus can be caught, I do not think that our local fishmonger will be able to get one to me fresh, but thank you for the idea! :)

Akis! Thank you for sharing Mr. Octopus. An excellent recipe. No, to find a fresh octopus in Northern California. This won't be easy. Thank you for sharing this video. Blessings ChefMike

+chef mike Don't use fresh octopus because you will have to tenderize it, which is a PITA. Use frozen if you can get it there.

I love this

More More of Mr Octopus !! OMG OMG

Just cooked the reciepe your way - super tasty!

I have never tried octopus but that looks beautiful

Super job Akis!

Akis your soo entertaining and your receipes are simple and amazing!!!!

I made this yesterday (even though i didn't the bay leaf) and it was superb! Thank you for this great recipe :)

Amazing.

I would never attempt to make this in my kitchen...I would try it in Akis's kitchen. I like how Greek and truly Mediterranean it is. Akis you have very expressive eyebrows and you could use that to your advantage.

Done with Mr and Mrs. (!) Octopus. It was delicious and super simple. Thank you for sharing this recipe. We'll try with squid when octopus price goes up :-D

Thank you Akis! I love octopus but I never know how to cook it :) definitely going to give this a try!

Yperoho!

Great recipe. Tried it today, dish was delicious :)

Def gonna make that soon.. Waw😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Fabulous enjoy

That looks so decadent!!

Men are always the best chefs ever! They make cooking appear light & easy! More Power & Keep it up bro. It looks really awesome. I will try doing this myself soon.

looks delicious!😍

Looks awesome!

Bro ur videos r great and can u try to do fusion dish with indian food

Hey akis. Great recipe, as always :) will be tough to find a full octopus here in my city. Btw: im always super amazed by your knife and chopping skills. I know there are lots of tutorials and I would consider my own skills quite okay for a passionate hobby cook, but could you maybe make like a tricks and tips tutorial for knife work or just some tips that could help beginners or intermediates that you would consider very useful but unknown so far yourself. Would be awesome. Keep up the amazing recipes til then :) greeting, a Long time fan from Berlin.

What you cook is similar to what we have in the PH! It's like adobong pusit! Though pusit is a squid. :D

What carbohydrates would go with this?

Do you cook only the tentacles of Mr. Octopus, or the body as well? Also, if Mr. Octopus is already salty, should I not use kalamata olives?

I cooked but it still salty the food why?i did not put salt

I want to try this on friday. But a lot of people told me if you over cook the octopus it will be hard and rubbery, the best way to cook octopus is to blanch it or only 2mins max. So im confused.
