Octopus
Octopus is a popular seafood in Mediterranean, East Asian and coastal cuisines, enjoyed whole or as tentacles and arms in grilling, stewing, sashimi and more. It is known for its firm, slightly chewy texture and ability to take on bold marinades and char flavors. As a lean seafood, Octopus provides 14.9g of protein per 100g and is low in total fat, making it a good protein-forward option for meals. It is also a notable source of vitamin B12, selenium and marine omega-3s, nutrients often valued in seafood. Nutritionally, Octopus is prized for its high-quality amino acid profile and ability to promote satiety while contributing beneficial micronutrients found in seafood. Its nutrient pattern makes it a healthy choice when prepared simply (grilled, steamed or lightly sautéed) rather than deep-fried or heavily breaded.
