Grilling a Giant Pacific Red Octopus — Deep Dive

On this episode of ‘Deep Dive,’ chef Jacob Harth shows us what goes into the intense process of cooking the giant pacific red octopus found in Tillamook Bay in Portland, Oregon. It usually weighs anywhere from 20 to 100 pounds, and measures 10 to 12 feet in length. This species loves to eat crab, and often eat all of the crab in fishermen’s catches, so by buying and cooking the octopus for his restaurant, the chef is also helping local fishermen who lose their day’s catch. Eater would like to assure viewers that all videos were shot before restaurants were asked to close. Check the CDC for the most updated guidance on dining out at restaurants.
