Item Details and Quality:
With eight arms completely adorned with suction cups and three hearts that pump blue blood, there is little wonder the octopus is one of the strangest animals we use for food. This odd looking sea creature is a mollusk even though it has no shell. The most highly developed of its species, the octopus has the most complex brain with vision as its highest developed sense.The octopus for sale from Gorton's Fresh Seafood is a cephalopod. The octopus has a pliable body that consists of tentacles sprouting directly from its head. This is where the Greek word ""cephalopod"" is derived from. The translation is ""headed foot.""Raw octopus meat has a purplish color, although the flesh turns white when cooked. There is little waste with octopus. Every part of this creature can be eaten with the exception of the eyes, the mouth, and the viscera, which are all removed prior to freezing.Octopus recipes vary greatly from fried to pickled to grilled, so you're sure to find several octopus recipes that will become favorites. In fact, an Australian favorite is barbequed octopus.
