Octopus

Fish & Seafood Seasonal ♆ Neptune

Octopus peaks from October to February. While available throughout the year, it is at its best during the colder months when the quality of the meat is most consistent. From a conservation perspective, octopus is a fast-growing, short-lived species, which makes it naturally resilient to fishing pressure. To ensure a sustainable choice, look for octopus caught using low-impact methods like pots or traps, which help protect the seafloor and minimize bycatch in coastal ecosystems.
