I love Greek food and culture!!!!!!!
I have to say thanks, i appreciate it.
We love you too
Pressure cook for 25 minutes first, then grill... Makes it amazingly tender. Still firm but not rubbery.
That might do the trick to Tenderise ! Good tip.
I loved octopus and I'll do prepare the way you do, it looks delecious
Ευχαριστώ
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I am trying this tonight.
Nice and simple, will give it a go.
Greek cuisine = anything plus lemon and olive oil !!! Perhaps garlic and/or oregano.
This octopus look great. I also love Greek fried squid!
It’s the magic ingredient:)
I live in West Virginia but I wish I lived near the Ocean I've always loved seafood especially anything fromt he mediteranean
I live in Detroit you can still get Octopus anywhere. It won't be as fresh, but it's still good.
OMG that looks so good
I love this greasy italian wop!
Good cooking!
the guy was struggling ..the uzo looked inviting too..good job,ì
ahhh the sound of Australian rain hitting your roof
Mr. Anidman, Watching this while it's raining outside
Great video !!!
Bought one for this Memorial Day weekend! Can't wait, I'm going to follow your video.
Your octopus is HUGE! The ones available here in the US are frozen, and usually from Portugal or Spain.
Let us know how you go ! We are lucky in Australia lots of fresh seafood. Actually lots of fresh everything !
Tanks

OMG, I gotta make this!
Thanks heaps mate! Your instructions were clear and concise. I’ll be giving it a go. No Greek pun intended with the wording “concise,” Cheers!

That is just unbelievable, I'm going to try this for sure . Can't beat charcoal Barbie's ,my $1000 gas Barbie never gets used useless things they are , I've never known a Greek to own a gas Barbie. How yum this is .
Excellent 👍
Just caught a 2 kilo occy in a crab trap in Pittwater. Love the recipe and will use it today, cheers!
Was it delicious 😋
Cheers from New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Andrew! And thanks for the video. I have a 3 1/2 pounder in a pot right now. And I have all the ingredients for your marinade. Just have to fire up the grill now.
+Curb Appeal Fixers Hope you enjoy it!!
VideoSnooper do you now how much a pound is? We live far from amarica so use kilograms!
Francois O'Kennedy Pound = 454g. So general rule 2 pounds = 1 kg
Thats an easy conversion. Thank you and sorry for taking it out here... I just get ticked of sometimes when it is a video or something informative and it is not metric. I feel if you speak to global audience you need to use, global terms. When the US gets nuked no one would no what a fuck is going on because of that!
Beautiful! Thank you for this recepie! I enjoyed the rain also! New subscriber!
Μάγκας μπράβο φίλε
Ευχαριστώ - να σε καλά !
Fresh garlic would be delicious mate
Looks yummy
I was just watching king kong vs octopus, and now I'm here watching and craving grilled octopus.

Thanks for the recipe!
Tomorrow I'll try to prepare the octopus for dinner!
I greet You!

Yummy!
Going to make this tonight :)
What an Octopus!
تحية اعجبتني طريقتك
Thanks. Trying this on Wednesday this week. At least you taught me how to perservere in rainy weather.....
Πολύ καλή συνταγή... αλλά μάλλον πρέπει να αγοράσεις μεγαλύτερο barbecue... ουαχαχαχα!!! γεια σου πατρίδα...
Σκέψου να είχε όλα τα πόδια του - να είσαι καλά Μικέ.
mas tsakises tora aderfe.... :D superrrrr
YUMMY!!!
In Florida USA, that’s a $55 octopus 🐙 being cooked on a $10 grill using $2 worth of charcoal.
They’re not cheap in Sydney Australia either!
Not much cheaper in SC 5.25 per pound. They normally only sell small one and are so hard to find. Not many people know just how good octopus, eel, and squid are. It's really sad.
Damnnn....... I catch them in Hawaii
Barry Adams yep this would cost a minimum of $60AUD per kilo in Australia at Christmas time. So this piece could cost as much as $90-$120 ( looked to be around 2kg) at this time of year. Prices are crazy here!
I live in the Torres Straits in Australia's Far North Queensland and you can walk along the reef when the tides low at night and catch them by hand or stick them with a spear. The largest one I caught was a meter long.
μπραβο ωραιο βιντεο !!
Thank you so much for sharing and hello from Sydney. Quick Q. Is the bbq on low heat for the 25 mins? Many thx.
Yum
I thought the octopus was kicking. Then it’s the rain lol
YUMMY!!
I will try your recipe!
Please send me the link to you recipe for Tzatziki.
Love Greece!
Thanks DAn - here is the Tzatziki ruclips.net/video/W-q3Rq0m-dg/видео.html
cut the darn octupus on a board before the grill.........
Angel that can be done on a flat plate but cutting them later on a open grill allows you to turn the whole piece without having to turn many little pieces. Also you don’t lose them through the grill.
We Aussies do it back to front. What’s yr point?

emmmm i love octopus, what a huge one you had there.. its hard two find.. i would eat it everyday i love it,, can be a bit chewy but even if it is i still enjoy it.
This was a large one however it wasn’t tough to eat - but it was delicious.
Where did you go to school? Lol
who me.. why would you ask me some thing like that.. you making a joke.??
Mark Jackson You do know that maybe English isn’t his first language right? Don’t be a malaka
good job bud!!
Thanks Pano!
Real nice SS pot. Please tell me name and brand, Thanks !
Just joke. Actualy all steps was great. I wish would like to taste octopus and OUZO. :))
We love oct 2 poos too
this video make me hungry.. I want to eat octopus too 😢
Aghnia Fauziah I’m surprised you’re not Asian with your tentacle fascination
What did you mix in with your ouzo? Looked good!
CapnCody1622 just an ice cube :) and it was delicious.
VideoSnooper Oh nice. Thought it was maybe coconut water or something.
Right drink, wrong glass
I can taste it! Octopodi & Ouzo delicious. Greeks do it best.
Christmas time perfect for some in Australia being summer !!

PlanetPowerHD oi
My mate does the Greek festival octopus. His trick is same marinade , but no pre cook in the pot. What he does is on the charcoal, then when the skin starts pulling away he lays a sheet of alfoil to cover the occy. It steams under that.
Good tip - I’ll give that a try next time !
What was the one ingredient that I didn’t catch it lemon,olive oil ,and what else in the cup before you brushed it on the octopus
Hi it was dried oregano.
im subbing because i think you make great content and deserve more subscribers. made my bf subscribe too :D
Can i do this without wine?
Sure can - the basting adds enough flavours
So I’ve just watched you 2016 and 2017 Xmas cooking feast. When is the 2018 Xmas feast video release?!
Very funny ! This Xmas the video is one of the side dishes - chilli Parmesan and garlic pasta. Check it out:

VideoSnooper ahh the next video on my list!! Haha great content man. I’ve just eaten dinner but watching your videos is making my mouth water!
you know ouzo huh,,nice but we lebanese like our arak ,also with water
I never knew Russell Coight was Greek!
It did look great in the end
Your failling to say boiling octopus will stop it being chewy !!
Last step was great octopus with ( RAKI ).... :))
ΣΥΔΝΕΥ ΜΕΓΑΛΕ;
Don't you add salt?
I don’t add salt - but it’s up to individual taste
YUMMIEEEE..... I HOPE OUZO WAS LESVOS....
+gürkan Baser ouzo Mini - from Lesvos!
Why not cut up the octopus before on the grill ?
I do it this way as it is easier to handle and means less pieces to turn - but you can do it either way- as long as it is cooked well and tastes delicious!
NEVER NEVER BOIL OCTOPUS IN WATER.PLACE IN POT WITH GLASS OF VINEGAR.AND THAT IS ALL.OCTOPUS HAS ITS OWN WATER.BOIL TILL ALL WATER IS GONE.
Chris thanks for the comment - it’s just another technique which possibly will come out similar - I’ll give that a go next time to test it out. I do boil it just to prevent having to bbq it for too long in the grill. Others also place it in oven for 15’mins in low heat to achieve the same result l. In Santorini the man cooking at a tavern also said to freeze it and then cook when thawed as it breaks down the toughness.
Yes I do a bit of red wine vinegar, pepper corns and bay leaf or two.
No water
Boil for 5-10 mins is not way enough to tenderize it,atleast one hour then bbq for 5 mins.
yo should've cut it before placing on the grill
I’ve done it that way also ! I don’t cut it to smaller pieces until the end - this way you can start to take off thinner part of legs as they cook faster.
I swear he sounds Greek until he says things like oregano.
Try drying the octopus in the sun for days and then pop it on the grill .
I’ve seen that done in the taverns in Greek islands - I have never tried that in the city - would hate to think of what will land on it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
May I ask about the nutrition if this stuff?
+Cole Robinson-Boivin - don't ask about nutrition, ask about the taste.
Low calories, low fat, high protein,
vitamin B12, potassium, iron, magnesium
Am i the only one who laughed when he said octopuss?
Yep
Disorganized cook you are mate!
Watching you cut the octopus AFTER placing it on the grill grate was painful! There are many ways to prepare octopus, but for goodness' sake, cut the tentacles before placing them on a grill!
if i was u. i would cut the octopus before i put it on the bbq. its crazy to cut it there and burn ur fingers
joseph bechara that's fine but then you are turning lots
of small pieces. So easier to cut last as less turning.
You should of pulled the skin off before boiling
Personal preference - the skin adds flavour and isn't tough when cooked this way.

Great video!
