This food stall at the Salcedo Saturday Market provided free sampling of their Galician Octopus. Curious on how it tasted, I took a little sample. Hm, not really that much of a difference with squid. I found this Galician Octopus recipe and it also talks of the origins of “Pulpo a la Gallega”.
the octopus need not come from the costal waters of Galicia. It may come from anywhere–from other coastal regions of Spain, from Portugal, or even from Morocco. (The latter country exports a large quantity of octopus to Spain.) Octopus from the Philippines can be used for the recipe too.
These are just one of the many unusual dishes you will encounter at the Salcedo Saturday Market
