Renna Baby Octopus in Sunflower Oil, Small Octopus, 10.58 oz

Thought it was great for my pickled snack recipe

Just not good. No flavor.

Soooo, firstly, I’ll start off by saying these do taste good, but I was expecting a bit something different, so have taken off one star. I was expecting these to be more savory, and chewy, as they say they are packed in oil. There are not savory at all, but pickled flavor. They actually have the taste and texture of pickled eggs! You cannot taste the octopus at all and the texture of octopus is gone. I happen to really like pickled eggs, so this was not an issue for me and, like I said, these do taste good…just not like octopus. Because these are priced high…octopus price high, not pickled egg price…I will not purchase them again.

Honestly pretty delicious. Would order again. Definitely an acquired taste.

Absolutely delicious, tender texture, with just the right amount of salt and brininess. It cost way more than I typically spend on a tin of other brands, but one taste made it all make sense. These could be added to so many dishes, but I’m planning to savor them all by themselves as star of the show!

Not as pictured. Supposed to be one baby octopus. Instead had a lot of very small octopi what were very mushy and not tasty at all. Would not recommend since they did not send what what was expected.

I got both jars: the baby ones & the tentacles. Both are mid at best. For SOME REASON they’ve put vinegar in the jars. I have no clue why they did that, but octopus and vinegar just don’t go together. There’s also sugar.. albeit it isn’t one of the top ingredients, I don’t think it’s necessary. The texture of the octopus is what you’d expect.. it’s about a 3.8-4 out of 5. But the vinegar in them makes me just not want to keep the jars. I tried them the night I got them, didn’t hate them but didn’t love them, then tossed both in the fridge and haven’t touched them since. I’m not even sure how long you can keep them in the fridge after opening them. I guess if I were to dump both jars, rinse them very thoroughly, then toss them back in the jars with just olive oil (they used sunflower oil), then these may be serviceable, but my order shouldn’t come with homework to make them good. For comparison: Matiz octopus in tins only contains octopus, olive oil, & sea salt and those COMPLETELY blow these out of the water and straight off the planet, no question.

It was mushy and very unpleasant to eat I threw it out the tentacles and the baby octopus were no good I wouldn’t recommend this in any way a total waste of money and you can’t return this slop

It’s a very small jar for the price. I’m disappointed!
