Notes

A classic dive at Seal Point. A proper arm wrestle with this big octopus which I almost lost. He lost a leg which was swiftly carried off by a fish. The ocean is alive here !

Recipe Suggestion

I cooked this octopus in tomato, garlic & chilli. Served with spaghetti & Pane di Mare ciabatta & a glass of Strandveld Sauvignon Blanc. Buon appetito !
