Octopus Farming - a firm no from me 👎

I have tried it three times, I'm out on octopus. I find the texture horrible.

Because it wasn't cooked correctly.
In order for octopus to be cooked and taste great, you first cook in pressure cooker for 30 min in water, with some oil, salt, peppercorn. The octopus will be like butter texture. Then you can add sauce, marinates like sunflower oil or dry rub with paprika and garlic, or mix with salad. I learned how to cook octopus while living in the islands.

The places I've had must not have gotten the memo, grilled, in I forget where, in a seafood stew type dish in Taiwan, and canned smoked octopus from the Asian market here in the USA, all three times like chewing on a bicycle tire. Also I've never seen it pressure cooked on any of the cooking shows I've seen it on.

I will continue to pass.

Google how to tenderize an octopus, and you will find dozens of ways that people swear by.

Do you know why people tenderizer meats, because otherwise they are inedible garbage. Do you know why people eat inedible garbage? Because they are hungry and there is nothing else to eat.

if you have the chance to visit a good authentic Spain restaurant,, ask for the grilled octopus, you will see the difference

Actually now that you mention it, it was a highly regarded Tapas place where I had it grilled

Grilled octopus is great with an Orca steak.

That’s silly - you only need to tenderize crap cuts of meat. Otherwise, you can get meat perfectly tender by cooking it with the proper technique.
