I fancy having a go a one if I can get my hand on one. Most are going to EU and fetching good money. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I fancy having a go a one if I can get my hand on one. Most are going to EU and fetching good money. Cheers Arry It's only done with the tentacles normally. Some will beat the shit out of the whole thing though. Depends on the person cooking but normally high heat and very fast. It goes rubbery if you do it too long or too low. I've cooked it on the beach on my little BBQ and I always get it as hot as possible before putting it on. Be careful with the tips, they burn/ruin easy. The thicker pieces is what you fry up first then add the tips in the middle of cooking time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 14,000 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 The boil is very quick, literally just blanching it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
