1
Clean the Octopus
Rinse the octopus under cold running water to remove any sand or impurities. If necessary, remove the beak and innards.
2
Tenderize the Octopus
Place the octopus in a pot of boiling water for about 30-40 minutes to tenderize. Once tender, remove and let cool slightly.
3
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the cooked octopus.

4
Grill the Octopus
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the octopus on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until you get a nice char.
5
Serve
Remove the octopus from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, and oregano.
