Notes

To keep the octopus tender, always slice it against the grain. Let the mango salsa rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If you can’t find fresh octopus, canned or frozen options work well too. For a milder dish, swap the Scotch bonnet pepper with jalapeño. Consider serving the dish on banana leaves for a tropical look or with plantain chips for a gluten-free option.
