Steamed Octopus (Madako Tako) - Whole
Madako is the octopus the Japanese prize above all others for sushi and sashimi, and ours arrives tender, steam-cooked, and ready to slice. The gentle steaming gives it a clean, subtly sweet, shellfish-like flavor and that signature tender-yet-springy bite, with none of the toughness that scares cooks away from octopus.
Because it is fully cooked, it could not be easier, slice it thin for sashimi or poke, or give it a quick char on the grill for smoky edges. An impressive, restaurant-quality bite with almost no work involved.
Best for: sashimi, poke, and grilling. Wild-caught, flash-frozen.
Size: 1 lb, one whole steamed tako.
