Steps:
- Defrost the octopus by placing it in a bowl of lightly salted water in the refrigerator, until pliable or overnight. Press out the beak. Clip the eyes from the head and discard. Turn the hood inside out and discard the viscera. Wash and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place the octopus in a deep ovenproof pan and cover, without adding water. Place in oven and cook until the octopus is bright pink-red and feels tender, turning the octopus frequently, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain the octopus in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Rub off the skin and discard. Shake the octopus dry, rub the flesh with the coarse salt and leave to dry on a towel-lined plate or baking pan in the refrigerator, covered, at least 2 hours.
- Cut the chilled octopus into 2-inch pieces and tightly pack into a 1-quart jar.
- In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, bay leaves, sugar, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Pour the liquid over the octopus in the jar. Add the lemon pulp, and if necessary pour in olive oil until the marinade covers the octopus. Cover, cool, and refrigerate overnight, or up to 1 week.
- Remove jar from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving.
- Preheat a grill. Skewer the octopus pieces, reserving the marinade. Grill the octopus until browned along the edges and heated through, turning once and brushing with the reserved marinade. Serve with lemon wedges.
PICKLED OCTOPUS
I have always liked Greek pickled octopus but didn't realise it was easy to make. I got this recipe from a class I attended at the Sydney Fish Market Cooking School. If you can't find a pre bashed octopus you can do this using a wooden rolling pin and belting the octopus about 30-40 times (advice from the fishmonger) I suggest doing it outdoors!

Steps:
- If you can buy cleaned octopus you can skip the next stage.
- Gut the octopus and peel the skin from the octopus. Remove the beak (it is located at the top of the legs).
- Place the octopus in large pan with 1 cup water. Cook over medium/low heat. The octopus will give off a lot of liquid but check ocassionally that there is still enough liquid in the pan.
- Cook for about 1 -1 1/2 hours. Test with a skew, it should easily pierce the flesh.
- Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly or cool enough to handle.
- Slice tentacles into 3cm lengths and body into pieces.
- Mix up the dressing ingredients. Check dressing that it is not too vinegary as vinegar strenght is so variable.
- Pack the octopus in the sterlised jars and pour over the marinade.
- Let sit in the refrigerator for 5 days before eating.
- Serve as part of meze.

- If you are using thyme stalks, push them into the jar.
- Cover the jar and set it aside for at least 4-5 days before using.
