About Galician-style octopus
Cooked octopus with olive oil, paprika and salt, often served over potatoes. A Galician sharing classic also available in Valencia.
What to expect
Galician-style octopus is sliced and dressed with olive oil, paprika and salt. Many kitchens serve it with boiled potatoes, though side dishes vary. It is a Galician recipe and should not be confused with octopus finished over a grill.
Ordering tips
Ask whether potatoes are included and how many people the portion is intended for. Portion sizes differ between restaurants, so take that into account when comparing menus. For a mild dressing, check whether the kitchen uses sweet paprika, hot paprika or a mixture.
