    I've worked in restaurant and catering kitchens for thirty years.
    Watching someone cook for family and friends is far more satisfying than any highly produced program.
    Well done Jim.🇺🇸

    I really enjoyed this episode. I live on southern Vancouver Island (Canada) and our pacific octopus is large like this. After gently boiling the big tentacles (just as you did), I then marinade in garlic, lemon and oil overnight, and then grill on the bbq. I don't rub off the skin because it does crisp up. Keep up the great channel!

    FISH LOCKER: I gotta say, I Love Jim!!!
    I also love how you delibretley incorporate Family, Friends & your love of Creation, which appears more and more obvious, the more of your videos I watch!!!
    I have been in health care for 26yrs +, and I now find myself taking a much needed & up until recently NYD - PTSD break...
    I now have a disabilite(s), issues I struggle with on a regular basis, yet when I see Jim immerse himself into his "art", what I can only assume was his profession, or a life long passion...
    ..."The food" ...Cooking... Being - "In the kitchen", "hands on"...
    ...And to watch his communication go from not quite perfect (wether it be camera shyness / age related), yet still very clear...
    ...But to then be completley 100% clear with no "artifact" yet all the while still very clearly from an intelligent, educated, thoughtful, skillfull articulate person...
    ...Well, I don't know what to say, except that it makes me happy, and makes me think of A hope that lies ahead for all humankind if they so desire!

    Blinking delicious, I could tuck straight into that. I love doing them on a BBQ after a nice 30 min boil in heavy salt water with an onion and lemon. The BBQ really gives it that smokey taste. That said I haven't done it with the Octopus equivalent of the Kraken, boy that things was mahoosive, well done team Locker!

    Interesting and informative!
    In my own experiences trying to cook octopus and squid it always came out like rubber, so I gave up.
    But with these new insights I think I have another go at them.
    Jolly good!
    Thank you!!!!👍👍

      As an ex chef I learned long ago. With octopus and squid its one minute or one hour. Lol anything in between is rubber band!

      @@Emeraldwitch30 Why would you cook it for one hour if you can cook it in one minute?
      Which one is the best?

      @@JazzFunkNobby1964 I do a lot of stir-fry type cooking so very quick and less than 5 minutes on the heat for sure so its quite tender but if you go too long say 15 minutes it gets hard like rubber bands and then you have to get past that stage by cooking at least an hour.
      Most octopus I get has been frozen and I haven't had too many issues with it being rubbery. I think freezing breaks it down.
      Now I've deep fried too and that's a fairy hot and fast method too.
      The only other way I've had it is basically alive at a Korean restaurant where they pulled from the tank and chopped them into bits and served it moving on the plate. It was okay bit a bit creepy to feel the muscles wriggling about while you chew.
      I'd probably never order again as I prefer it cooked.
