Prepare the squid
Clean the squid, remove the internal organs, rub it with salt so that the squid no longer has a fishy smell, rinse with clean water and let it drain.
You can cut the squid into small pieces or leave it whole for grilling.

Marinate the squid
First, pound 100g of coarse salt, 50g of chili, 20g of seasoning powder, 10g of sugar, and add 20ml of cooking oil (or sesame oil) to make the salt mixture colorful and help the squid become more fragrant and eye-catching when grilled.
When the squid is drained, marinate it with half of the salt mixture and 10g of oyster sauce for 15 minutes.
Tip: Do not add too much sugar as it will make the squid easily burn when grilling.

Grill the squid
Start the charcoal fire. When the charcoal is red, place the grill on and then put the marinated squid on to grill for 30 – 45 minutes depending on the thickness of the squid.
Fan the fire evenly, turn the squid every 5 minutes to avoid burning the squid’s tentacles, making them no longer delicious.

How to choose fresh and delicious octopus
- The best dish is when you choose fresh octopuses, it’s best to select those that can still move flexibly, and their eyes are not dull.
- For frozen octopuses, you should choose those with a slightly grayish-brown color; the natural color should not be too dark or too light.
- Octopus with bright white flesh and smooth, shiny skin is a freshly frozen octopus, and you can buy it.
Tips to prepare octopus without a fishy smell
- Wash the octopus with water, cut off the tentacles from the body, then use a knife to cut the head of the octopus in half.
- After cutting the head of the octopus, remove all the internal organs, then gently wash the octopus with salt and use your hands to squeeze the octopus lightly to remove the slime. Rinse with water until clean.
