Sicilian Baby Octopus 2A 1 kg FREDD

What it is

Sicilian baby octopus supplied frozen in 1 kg trays. The product is a practical seafood ingredient for professional kitchens, with a piece format handled and sold by weight.

Supplier and format

The supplier references identify Fredditalia International and describe a Sicilian tray of frozen baby octopus. The documented working format is one 1 kg tray; the product is managed as a kg-based item rather than a fixed case.

Organoleptic profile

Baby octopus brings a distinct sea character and a firm but tender texture when cooked with care. Its clean flavour works with tomato, herbs, olive oil and other restrained preparations that let the seafood remain recognisable.

Professional uses and quantities

Use it for seafood salads, stews, tomato-based preparations or a composed fish antipasto. As a starting point, plan 120 to 180 g per antipasto portion or 180 to 220 g for a main seafood component, then adjust to the menu.

Errors to avoid

Do not cook it at high heat without enough liquid, crowd the pan or serve it before the texture has softened. Avoid over-seasoning early and cut only after cooking if the preparation calls for even pieces.

Storage and handling

Keep the tray frozen at the temperature stated on the packaging and protect it from freezer burn and odours. Thaw according to the product instructions, keep the seafood chilled during mise en place and do not refreeze after thawing.
