    Peace and love n_n I did not watch the whole video, just went through the boiling part but the songs are really good and you make it really cool to do. I Watched this video where this woman put the octopus into cold water for about ten seconds after she took it out of the boiling water and she said it was a good way too, you should try it and tell us how good it works. Thank you.

    Dear Scott,
    I am living in Greece, and I have watched almost all your very nice uploads. They are all just great and far away from ordinary "cooking videos" on the web. You are very creative and I have learned many of your nice tricks and tips. Sorry to say but this not a real octopus. Here in Greece we call it "moschios" and it's taste is far away from a real octopus. It is very cheap comparing with octopus (2-3 euros/kgr and octopus almost 14 euros/kgr) and we use it here in Greece mainly for bait. They have many similarities, but one critical difference! Octopus has 2 rows of suction cups but moschios only one! You have to make your very nice recipe with an octopus next time and you will be amazed from the difference in taste and tenderness. All the above with much love, keep on your great job! Regards George

    I usually get octopus from Portugal and man is it soooo delicious!! I'm def going to try this recipe though. Being Portuguese I think I'd tweak it with a little garlic and white wine. Do you think that would ruin it at all or drastically change the flavor? Also, did you just blanch it in water? Or did you use salt or other seasonings?

    I've never had octopus before, and I haven't ever really been tempted by it either; but this looks so good. From the video I'm assuming that Chorizo is a sausage of some kind? Can it be substituted with other sausages and still taste good? Also, how is the texture of octopus? I hear it's like rubber. Brilliant video, thanks for posting.

  • @johnc6919
    @johnc6919 10 лет назад +2

    Hi Scott, great, simple, good looking and I am sure very tasty recipe. Have you got Portuguese roots by any chance? I will try this at the week-end. Can't understand why so many people find the octopus repulsive and refuse to even try it? Many thanks.

    Hey Scott, love this recipe,will deffo try it. Does the blanching and simmering of the octopus make it less rubbery? I seem to end up with quite tough meat when I shallow fry octupus

  • @stuartwalker2000
    @stuartwalker2000 3 года назад

    may i suggest that you invest and use cast iron cookwars, like skillets, woks, sauce pans, stove top grills with raised ridges ( ribs ). every time you scrape the cast iron cookware, you add a microscopic amount of iron to your diet. they come pre-seasoned. and have absolute even heating. always allow them to completely cool down before cleaning, or you will experience an expolsve physical reaction. i would suggest Lodge brand iron cookware. the best in the world. but there are some other off brands also. good cooking mate...

  • @howardjohnson2138

    I think octopus was the most difficult thing I ever learnt to eat. One of my guys in Hawaii would being a big one in to work every Friday. He'd cook it along with lottsa other good thing and we'd eat it as part of a plate lunch feast at noon. Oh, were those good.Once I got used to eating it, I found I LOVE it. He did not do anything to it, but boil it, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Sorta like tough crab. Good stuff.

    Hello there Scott, by any chance, can you tell me the name of the white octopus which you used in your video? Thanks

    • @TheScottReaproject
      @TheScottReaproject  11 лет назад

      Hi lilly this is just a normal octopus from the north east Atlantic waters. The reason it is so white is because I skinned the hood.i peeled away the skin which is normally a grey/brownish colour. Any octopus would work for this recipe. Hope this answers your question. Many thanks. Scott

      The Chaos Dragoness if you go to your local Asian market, in the frozen section you can get a pack of whole baby frozen octopuses for like 6.99USD, they are even pre cleaned it it is 2lbs of them ^.^ (Fresh is always better don't get me wrong, but sometimes frozen is okay to share and experience things together!)

  • @Dawizbuffy
    @Dawizbuffy 10 лет назад +1

    Hi!
    In my opinion you should not wear ring and watch when preparing food, just for hygenic reasons.There is a lot of leftover from prep of the vegs imho.If you use chorizo in a deep pan you do not need some oil because chorizo got enough fat, which is melting down.Especially when you utilize a teflon pan.Hope you did not use cold sqeezed olive oil for it got carzinogens if heated to much.Wok cooking (if this should be needs mandatory peanutoil) also with higher heat and shorter time to cook.But nice vid and like your tatts.Regards

    @JChowda 11 лет назад

    Good How To video. Except for the choice of text colour. It's usually a similar colour to the video picture its on.
    And why did you call it a stirfry? Is that just because it's in a wok? You sautéed it and the heat didn't seem too high. It shouldve had raw octopus and a quick high heat fry to be called a stirfry.

    • @TheScottReaproject
      @TheScottReaproject  11 лет назад

      Hi thanks for the comment,just to clear a few things up,this was one of my earlier videos ,produced on an older media system,i was getting to grips with at the time,maybe should have a look at my more recent Octopus video,(galician ocotups) go to my channel page and look it up,secondly,the vegetables were stir-fried,i was only just warming the octopus through as if you have watched the video you will know it is already pre cooked,plus that was not a wok,also a stir fry does not always mean a raging high heat,i like/encourage constructive feed back,but i am also a believer in if you can do better then,why not release a video yourself to show me,and the other,29,000 viewers how it is done,it takes alot of time and effort to produce theses videos, as i am a one man band,so if you can make on better please post it and email me so i can compare,many thanks.all the best.Scott

    • @JChowda
      @JChowda 11 лет назад

      After reading what I wrote again, I think I may have come off a little harsh. I didn't mean to be. Its just I'm really looking to use octopus and the text being difficult to read I guess frustrated me. Sorry for projecting that in the comments and thanks for getting back to me so kindly.
      Either way, the video was still EXTREMELY helpful. Probably one of the best for this on RUclips.
      In truth I've got really bad vision and have had multiple surgeries and treatments that went on for over a year (detached retina in both eyes, cataracs, corrective laser and slice and dice surgery) haha. I fully accept I couldn't make a better video. So thank you again for yours.
