Comments
The 8 tentacles and the body attached to them are edible. Discard the eyes, mouth area and viscera. The ink sac contains a black liquid that can be used to color and flavor foods such as pasta, soups and stews. The younger (up to 3 lbs.) octopus are more tender but larger octopus should be simmered or boiled for several hours.
