It's not difficult, but it requires a fruit press or something similar (you could probably do it with a #10 can and a very heavy weight of some sort). All you do is cook an octopus or two in almost boiling water, like 97C, until it is fully cooked and tender (about an hour) and let it cool in the same water. Take the octopus, season as desired, chop into large chunks (or don't, it's not a critical step) then wrap in cheese cloth, put it in the press, and tighten that sucker down (my first reddit pun!). Leave it at least over night to congeal, take it out of the press, cut thin sheets out of it by rolling it while you cut a thin layer with a large, sharp knife (look up daikon sheets to get the idea). Then wrap your salmon with the sheets, roll tight with plastic wrap or a sushi mat, and cut it like sashimi and brush it with some kind of shiny glaze.
For the record, I've never used that method for sushi, but during my time in Italy we made octopus carpaccio like that.
Hi there!
Thank you soooo much for the tip. She is just getting into tinctures, glycerin extractions etc. The hydraulic tincture press is out of my price range, but would this be the manual version of that?
