Matiz Pulpo Wild-Caught Pulpo Spanish Octopus in Olive Oil 4.0 Oz

This is the best canned pulpo I've had. Spent a month in Portugal and this is as good as anything we had. Plus their packaging is the best of anything purchased on Amazon. Thank You.

This product is from Spain harvested from Atlantic ocean waters. The flavor is delicate (not fishy) and cute tender. Excellent way to dress up an afternoon Mediterranean salad. Highly recommended.

These are tasty right out of the can and in salads or pasta. I have not tried them cooked. As another reviewer noted, best to open with pliers. Even though they have a pull tab, very difficult to open by hand. I will buy this again.

This is the best octopus outside of a sushi bar I have ever had. Tender, succulent, and buttery. Everything you could ever want octopus to taste like, and not even remotely overpowered by the subtle olive oil. Will definitely be buying again!

While not as great as fresh, it's still really good. Now that I'm not on a coast that is peppered with fresh octopus, I get the best I can. Make a WOW appetizer for a party or octopus rice for yourself. It's far too expensive to treat everyone, a lot! But I do love this octopus, the ease of serving straight from the can AND it's worth every penny!

Very small quantity for the price

I bought 5 cans of these to try out. I like canned seafood (tuna, salmon, anchovies) but had never tried canned octopus before. At first, I was a little skittish about opening the cans; I had tried non-canned octopus twice before but didn't really love it. These cans, however, are delicious! The octopus is meaty and hearty, with a great flavor. It reminds me of other canned seafood but with a better flavor. I find tuna really bland. I've gotten past my initial squeamishness and now I find myself wanting to keep them stocked in my cupboard all the time! I have eaten them both heated and straight from the can; you can easily substitute a can of these for any recipe calling for a can of tuna. The most recent recipe I made was a greek salad with these instead of tuna. Give these a whirl and see f you enjoy the variety and health benefits of octopus in your diet. I know I now do!

Galicia is pulpo heaven, and I miss travels there and tasting the wonderful ways in which the Galegos prepare pulpo. I also understand that the population of pulpo off the shores of Galicia is now under threat due to climate change.So, companeros, if you cannot travel to Galicia during the pandemic, enjoy these lovely tins of octopus. The "chunks"are delectable and the olive oil is of good quality. I like to saute the octopus chunks in their own olive oil with grated garlic, flakes of red pepper, and Spanish smoked paprika. Then, you can toss this delightful mix over lentils, salad greens, or pasta of your choice. Delicious.My one reservation--each 4 oz tin only packs enough octopus for one serving. So, this brand is "un poco caro" ..... so balance quality with price... así es la vida
