Grilled Octopus with Oregano

In Greece you will often see the whole octopus left hanging out in the sun to dry. Some cooks will also boil it for a bit before grilling on the barbecue, to ensure that it remains soft. So, if you can, hang your octopus out in the sun for a few hours beforehand, until the legs have dried and curled up a bit. I think this would go well with a fennel salad. And it is often served with a glass of ouzo on ice.
