Best octopus marinade recipe? Grilled or boiled?

[efhernandez_]

Hey guys what do you recommend for the best octopus? I love grilling it, but i’ve noticed that boiled octopus usually tastes better because served in a marinade and it has more flavor. Is there a marinade for grilled octopus? I hesitate to put the grilled octopus in a marinade because it will become soggy. This one looks so good:

Octopus is delicious grilled but it can be tricky! I have seen people use either vinaigrette or "ladolemono" to marinate it. Just be sure to blot out the marinade before you grill it. Another tip is to leave the octopus whole when marinating and grilling. It tastes best when grilled whole, and then you can cut it after the fact.

Greek style octopus is amazing!

I would say grill only, charcoal grill has a great flavor and marinade with lemon, Greek olive oil, salt, pepper and Greek oregano...and this should do it!
