00:00:05board put all its tentacles this way and
00:00:10you’ve got three parts the head which is
00:00:12this bit you’ve got the tentacles which
00:00:15is this bit and a bit in the middle and
00:00:17the bit in the middle is got eyes and
00:00:18beak
00:00:19and stuff like that in it nests of it
00:00:21you want to get rid of so all I’m going
00:00:23to do is cut here just below the eye see
00:00:27the eyes just at the bottom of the head
00:00:36okay that’s the bit you get rid off now
00:00:42in the middle is its little beak if you
00:00:45want to get rid of too
00:00:46it’s hard to spit like shell so this is
00:00:53what we have and you see through there
00:00:59now inside their head there’s all sorts
00:01:01of other gunk which you need to get rid
00:01:03of so all you do you can turn the head
00:01:06inside out and call this out it’s quite
00:01:15tough it’s not for the squeamish let me
00:01:22go
00:01:26there are still some bits and pieces in
00:01:28there but I’m going to give everything a
00:01:31wash now just to see where we are so
00:01:33I’ve got do this in the sink under
00:01:36running water
00:01:36I’ve just got a big bowl called walk
00:01:38like you turn the head inside out
00:01:49clearly this stuff off you don’t want
00:01:52basically what you want to see a nice
00:01:55white clean head wash as much as you can
00:02:03of the ink off there we go
00:02:07once you hold it peels off quite easily
00:02:12and there we go
00:02:13where’s the head
00:02:18now the tentacles they just need a good
00:02:22wash basically all these Sakura bits
00:02:25here sometimes they put there and them
00:02:28so you just need to wash the night once
00:02:33I got the worst day off I’ll change the
00:02:34water just give it another another rinse
00:02:37again so that so loving someone and it’s
00:02:51all good cleaner
00:02:54I changed the water in the bowl just
00:02:59give another little rinse and get all
00:03:01the last of the ink off on it okay so
00:03:05it’s not pretty clean it’s gonna pop it
00:03:07on my board into my board I’ll get rid
00:03:16of the water now Pat helped us dry just
00:03:31so it’s not skidding around the board
00:03:37right now the head just gonna pull the
00:03:44skin off

00:03:56this little bit here put a sharp knife
00:04:01so that’s nice and neat
00:04:03then go that’s the head we’ll get rid of
00:04:05the skin and now the octopus itself the
00:04:12legs themselves it all depends what you
00:04:15want to do with them you can keep them
00:04:16in one whole piece if you like or you
