Simple dinner tonight: Grilled octopus and butter-roasted baby potatoes topped with fresh parsley. There’s just something about that smoky flavor combined with the tender meat. What’s your favorite side to pair with pulpo?

  1. Only a few things are better than this. Looks delicious

    Combined with fresh baguette and some salted butter is a close tie for me. Osetra works too but isn’t necessary.

    I’m just having pulpo as a very special treat once every few years though as it’s an animal a little too sentient for my liking.

    I definitely love it, I’m not dead sure about favorite, but it’s fairly high up there. Just got back from Spain and my favorite was probably the razor clams.

    Grilled squid is divine. It is the only way to eat it.

  5. Grilled is very good, but not my favourite.

    Think my top 3 (in no specific order) would be:

    – breaded and fried tentacles
    – octopus rice
    – *lagareiro* style octopus (oven roasted in an absolutely absurd amount of olive oil)

    Couldn’t agree more. Grilled octopus and a lemon wedge is a godly combination, nothing else needed.

    A viewing of the film “My Octopus Teacher”.

    Atop a salad with a light vinaigrette is the best for me.

  10. Throw a couple roasted brussies on that plate and we’re hittin’ all the bases
