trihull 177 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 from previous pickling experiences, only have used freshmy last effort was 10kg of occy to 3kg of meat pickled, lots of wastage ( in total weight)after boiling for 4 mins, then skinning it..... then cutting into chunks....very enjoyablehaving said that, most searches have said that using frozen occy, will give you tender meat..like the below linksOccy 1Occy 2 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickmav 0 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yep, no problem. Freezing and thawing tenderizes both squid and octopus.After its skinned try oven roasting in a pan covered in foil for about 1.5 hrs on a low heat instead if boiling.Once it's cooked , pickle it. Roasting gives it a nicer flavor I reckon.Nick 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
