Island Creek Octopus in Oil, Garlic & Chili

Producer: Costas y Miñan Location: Galicia, Spain Story: The ocean has shaped the culture, cuisine, and economy of Galicia for centuries. Nicknamed “the land of a thousand rivers”, Galicia is studded with bays and inlets which are fed “rías” (aka estuaries). It's this magical brew of the fresh and salt water that makes Galicia one of the most prolific shellfishing regions in the world. Harvesting and canning production are entirely dictated by the seasons and the health of the shellfish stocks, meaning that no two years will look the same and which is what makes these products so special. What’s Inside: Octopus, olive oil, garlic and chili pepper How it tastes: Think roasted chicken with root veggies and a pinch of sea salt, with a sparkle of garlic and chili. How to eat: This octo will play nicely with potato salad tossed with briney green olives, smoked paprika, and crispy chorizo bits. Box Description: This ain’t your standard octopus fare. Slivers of garlic and whole chilis sparkle on the palette with pops of umami and spice. A belly-warming saucer of Spanish olive oil enhances the meaty slices of octopus, responsibly sourced from the prolific waters of Galicia, Spain. Think roasted chicken with root veggies and a pinch of sea salt.
