blot dry. You can thread the legs onto long metal skewers or place them
directly onto the grill

seed oil. Arrange the octopus on the grill and turn every minute or so until
they are nicely charred on all sides (about 3 minutes per side - 8-12 minutes

tablespoons of lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt and parsley together. Pour
over the octopus and toss. Leave the octopus to marinate for 30 minutes. Adjust
seasoning and serve with lemon wedges.
