Octopus - 17.6 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the frozen octopuses in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Clean off the membrane and rinse.

Step 2

For the batter, beat the egg, add 250 grams of flour, salt, and mix. While continuing to stir, gradually pour in the milk.

Step 3

Heat the sunflower oil in a skillet — the oil level should be about two centimeters above the bottom of the skillet. You can also add olive oil or butter to taste.

Step 4

Coat the octopuses one by one in the remaining flour and dip them in the batter, then lower them into the boiling oil. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side. Once fried, place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
