1 Before treating octopus, prepare a basin of clean water, add vinegar and edible alkali to the water, and then put octopus into it for scrubbing. This step can remove the mucus attached to the octopus surface. There are many suction cups on the wrist of octopus. When cleaning, these suction cups should be carefully scrubbed to remove dirt and other dirt attached to them.
2. After the octopus is washed, find the teeth of the octopus and dig them out, then squeeze out the internal organs of the octopus, pull off the gray bones, then remove its eyes and clean the ink. The internal organs of octopus are inedible and discarded directly.
3. Some people think that the skin of octopus has a fishy smell, and they will choose to peel it off. When peeling, they can tear it down from the head. If it is not easy to tear it off, they can also put octopus in boiling water and scald it slightly. At this time, the skin is easy to remove.
Matters needing attention in handling octopus
1 When removing the eyes of octopus, because it contains a lot of ink, it is easy to get dirty if it is accidentally splashed, so it is best to remove the eyes in water to avoid this problem.
2. After the octopus is treated, it should be boiled with boiling water first, so that the treated octopus is not easy to get out of the water and tastes better.
