Raw whole Pacific octopus

The Octopus vulgaris is a cephalopod commonly known as an octopus.

It has a muscular and rough body called a mantle, which is extended by eight arms bearing two rows of suckers. Its large head has eyes with fixed pupils. Its color varies and it can change very quickly from brown to white or yellow-orange to red.
It is caught all year round in zone F.A.O. 71 (Central West Pacific), using trawls.

The absence of any chemical treatment allows its taste qualities to be fully expressed.
We sell them whole, gutted, without beaks or eyes.
