It is a very home-style grilled octopus, and it is the most eaten fish, but I still like it. I make it almost every week.
Today’s grilled octopus is still a more common practice, but beer is used instead of water, and more garlic is added. The octopus absorbs the malt aroma in the beer, and the taste is very strong. If you like it, you can try it~~~"

Tips:
When cleaning hairtail, the black film in the belly of the fish must be removed. This black film is very fishy.
The white layer on the surface of the hairtail is the scales of the hairtail. I am afraid of fishy, so I usually wash them off. Of course, if the fish is fresh enough and you like the taste, just don’t remove the scales.
