How A Chef Cooks Octopus From Costco: Grilled Octopus Salad Recipe



How A Chef Cooks Octopus From Costco: Grilled Octopus Salad Recipe

Hello! I’m Chef Rafael Gonzalez and in this video, I’m showing you how to use Costco Octopus to make a delicious grilled octopus salad from home. This is a simple recipe that is perfect for a light lunch especially during the spring and summer.

You’ll discover how simple it is to cook octopus just like a chef with my simple marinade recipe. This marinade can also be used to make a light pasta when you are all done with the grilled octopus salad. Costco octopus is already cooked so it takes very little prep time. I like to cook octopus in my cast-iron pan to give it a nice charred flavor.

Have you tried the octopus from Costco yet? At certain times of the year, you can also find them at Trader Joes, but Costco has them year-round. I like to buy them in bulk so we can enjoy them at home anytime.

    Love how you went step by step. I've never had octopus, but like to try new things. 😋 I'm also a big fan of beautiful plating and you did this very well. New sub here and I'm looking forward to more 🛎👍stay connected, my friend

    Awesome idea for a summer recipe!!…..will definitely try it out and your daughter's idea about adding pasta sounds like a perfect combination

    My only feedback would be, show us from the beginning unpackaging and explaining the octopus for us newbies that are clueless on octopus, but are eager to learn. Luckily, I read thru the comments and found where you stated that it’s already cooked when you buy it at Costco, which is a lot less daunting for some of us. Thanks Chef. Great video. Going to my local Costco today hoping to find some octopus.

    If anyone else is watching this and wants to try as Costco isn’t really in much of the world I would advise finding a video showing how to cook from fresh. It should be poached for a few hours slowly in order for it to be tender. Also it will probably be tastier from fresh than already cooked from a shop. I’m lucky enough to live five minutes from the beach with local fisherman. The vinegarette looks nice.

    I wanted to follow this recipe but none of the links are posted anywhere actually work, and there’s no recipe in the description of the video or the comments. When you’re shopping around a grocery store it’s useful to have a written recipe because you can’t always watch a full video while shopping. Weak…

    I enjoyed your teaching and demo approach. Not too long at all. I just purchased octopus from Costco and will prepare the salad. Problem is it is only me eating. Are the jalapenos raw that you used??????

  15. Nelly CRONIN

    Than you for your great recipe!!! So many technics you have .👏🏼I just finished and it came out so tasty!❤

    I think it should have been mentioned that this octopus has been pre cooked before it was purchased. Maybe I missed that part. Try this with fresh octopus at your own risk!

    Trying this with three baby octopuses tomorrow. I have fresh sweet 100s to fix with it. I will thaw the octopuses overnight and fix tomorrow with fresh herbs. They're vacuum packed and will be excellent. Hopefully, they'll turn out delicious.
