What is octopus?
Octopus is a soft-bodied mollusk known for its distinctive eight legs covered in tentacles. Popular in both Mediterranean cooking and Asian cuisine, octopus adds salty flavor to seafood dishes. Grilled octopus tentacles are frequently used as a protein, but octopus ink is also used as a gourmet flavoring and coloring.
