Notes
The sea was calm after a week of intense storms. I wasn’t expecting much on this dive. The reef had been covered up by sand and my usual hunting ground was a very different landscape. I had to go on feel. Everything came together beautifully when I least expected it. This species is on the SASSI orange list
Recipe Suggestion
I cooked this octopus in tomato, garlic and chilli. Served with spaghetti as well as Pane di Mare ciabatta and a glass of Strandveld Skaamgessigie bubbles. Buon appetito!
