Frozen Whole Octopus
Octopus is a popular ingredient in cooking, especially in coastal regions and Mediterranean cuisine, because of its delicate flavor and versatility. When cooked properly, octopus meat becomes tender and juicy, offering a unique taste experience.
Chef's Advice
Octopus lends itself to a variety of recipes, from fresh and light salads, ideal for summer, to more hearty and warming dishes, such as stews and soups, perfect for the colder months. One of the most classic preparations sees octopus boiled until tender, then grilled or sautéed with flavorings such as garlic, parsley and chili peppers, which enhance the flavor without overpowering it.
In addition, octopus is often used in Mediterranean salads along with ingredients such as potatoes, olives, capers, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, creating a balanced and richly flavored dish. In Japanese cuisine, octopus is also widely used, for example in takoyaki, small balls of batter cooked with pieces of octopus inside, or as an ingredient in sushi and sashimi.

Marie Luxe acts as the coordinator of a real artisan fish chain, proposing high quality sea products directly and exclusively from small fishing boats around all the Breton coasts, Normandy, the Basque Country and the Mediteranean.
At the crosssroads of the English Channel and the Atlantic, the Breton landscape offers a multitude of natural and unspoiled sites. Its water, particularly rich in food, provides it with specific zones of exploitation. Brittany is the only area in Europe to still have this diversity of products fished by a fleet of small boats. The hazardous, rocky nature of the sea-beds supports the growth and the multiplicity of the species available.
