Matiz Espana Pulpo Wild Spanish Octopus in Olive Oil 4.0 Oz (5 Pack)

Had a tin of the Matiz Octopus ordered for me without knowing. I used to always get the Goya product when it used to be available. I have since ordered this product twice, and I have to say for the price, the product is outstanding. I like to put Crystal Hot Sauce in the tin with the octopus, as it gives it a great additional flavor, without killing it with spice, highly recommended!

I bought 5 cans of these to try out. I like canned seafood (tuna, salmon, anchovies) but had never tried canned octopus before. At first, I was a little skittish about opening the cans; I had tried non-canned octopus twice before but didn't really love it. These cans, however, are delicious! The octopus is meaty and hearty, with a great flavor. It reminds me of other canned seafood but with a better flavor. I find tuna really bland. I've gotten past my initial squeamishness and now I find myself wanting to keep them stocked in my cupboard all the time! I have eaten them both heated and straight from the can; you can easily substitute a can of these for any recipe calling for a can of tuna. The most recent recipe I made was a greek salad with these instead of tuna. Give these a whirl and see f you enjoy the variety and health benefits of octopus in your diet. I know I now do!

taste good, good quality

While not as great as fresh, it's still really good. Now that I'm not on a coast that is peppered with fresh octopus, I get the best I can. Make a WOW appetizer for a party or octopus rice for yourself. It's far too expensive to treat everyone, a lot! But I do love this octopus, the ease of serving straight from the can AND it's worth every penny!

I loved the taste of the octopus. As for the olive oil, I can not judge olive oil and therefore , I cannot comment on the quality of the olive oil used. The overall combination of the octopus, sea salt, and olive oil, the taste was delicious. I ate the octopus right out of the can and would recommend this product.
