Whole octopus from Tanzania’s reef and shallow-water grounds — a coastal staple prized by hotel kitchens and international buyers. Supplied fresh or frozen, whole or cleaned, and graded by weight to your specification.
Octopus is one of Tanzania’s best-known coastal catches and a natural export line. We handle whole octopus graded by weight, and can prepare it cleaned or flower-cut for kitchens that want it ready to cook. It suits both the hospitality trade and buyers in markets where octopus is a menu staple.
Our octopus comes from reef and shallow-water grounds around Zanzibar and along the Tanzanian coast, much of it from artisanal fishers. As with all our seafood, weight grades and availability track the season and the catch.
