Tip #1 : If you are buying fresh octopus, freeze it before cooking as it will taste more tender

Tip #2 : Temper octopus with salt immediately before the end of cooking so the octopus won’t harden

Tip #3 : It is always better to buy two smaller octopus than to buy one octopus. Buying two octopus at 500 g each makes the octopus tender faster

Tip #4 : If you buy a fresh octopus and you are going to freeze it, remember to take out the innards, tooth and the eyes before you freeze it

Tip #5 : This salad is considered a cold salad but it is best to dish out at room temperature
