AMAZING
1st OCTOPUS CARPACCIO
Chez Black, Positano
Super thin and set in a light jelly. No issues with chewiness as every slice was soft and delicious šŸ˜‹ šŸ™

3rd GRILLED OCTOPUS
Yorgo Fish Restaurant, Kos
For me, this was the best grilled octopus on Kos. Meaty but not chewy. Not too charred either which can be a little bitter or make the thin ends too crisp.
4th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Breg, Ljubljana
Excellent grilled octopus with crushed potatoes and olives. I don't care for the somewhat pointless foam though. It basically disappeared by the time I took a bite...
5th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Sankey's The Old Fishmarket, Royal Tunbridge Wells
While not the meatiest octopus I've had, this was tender and very nicely grilled. Loved the sun-dried romesco sauce it came with and the flakes of toasted almonds that gave a nutty crunch to round each bite off.
REALLY GOOD
6th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Taproom Valletta, Il-Belt Valletta
The octopus was a little too crisp and lacking citrus to be considered outstanding. But the mash it came on was super.
7th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Fidelio Family Greek Restaurant, Kos
Delicious grilled octopus although would have liked a larger portion.
8th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Hool Restaurant, Oliveira do Castelo
Very good octopus, grilled beautifully and served with potato and tomatoes on the vine
PRETTY GOOD
9th GRILLED OCTOPUS
El Pimpi, MƔlaga
Nice grilled tentacle with decent charring and seasoning
10th GRILLED OCTOPUS
La Taberna de Cervantes, MƔlaga
Just not enough seasoning again! A meaty tentacle needs a thorough brine and/or lots of salt as it comes off the grill. Good idea, but the execution onto the plate is missing one of the most important and fundamental steps!
11th GRILLED OCTOPUS
Boats On The Coast, Kos
Nice char but not tender enough for my liking. Needed a livelier sauce too, so it would complete the dish flavour-wise.
