The Highest
Quality from Siam Canadian
Siam Canadian's
Baby Octopus is primarily found in the waters
off Thailand, India and Vietnam. Baby Octopus
like squid are cephalopods, but Octopus have
eight tentacles. Most Octopi are usually one
or two feet in length and weigh around three
pounds. The baby octopi are around three to
five inches in length.
The color of
an octopus is usually red, brown, or purple
with a mottled skin. In a fresh or frozen state,
raw baby octopus has a purplish or brownish
grey color, but otherwise resembles the live
octopus found in the sea. After cooking, the
quality of baby octopus meat is firm and tender
with a mild flavor.
Baby octopus
when sold is generally whole either in a fresh,
frozen or in a cooked state. Most of the time
it is cleaned before being sold. Octopus is
also available in a smoked and canned state.
The entire octopus can be eaten except the eyes,
mouth, and viscera. People either eat it raw,
deep fried, stewed, boiled and pickled. Older
and larger octopus need to be cooked longer
to tenderize the meat. Baby Octopus are cooked
for a shorter amount of time and cooked whole.
Octopus is best bought already cleaned. Fresh
Octopus will smell slightly of the sea.
We at Siam Canadian
have an intimate knowledge of Southeast Asia's
vast seafood network. We procure baby octopus
meat from the industry's premium processors.
As we have volume purchasing power we can offer
highly competitive prices.
Baby Octopus
is most often caught in the southern part of
Vietnam as well as in Thailand and India. It
is processed whole, gutted, eyes off, teeth
off. Baby Octopi
which are blue ringed are larger and more developed
than other octopuses. In the course of one year
baby octopuses grow quickly to 2-3 pounds. They
are born about one quarter of an inch long.
In the early stages they swim to the surface
and float around as plankton - tiny plants and
animals that drift in the ocean - until they
settle down on the sea belt when they are about
1 ½ pounds in weight growing at great
speed - reaching 2-3 pounds in one year, continuing
to gain 2% of body weight per day.
