Step 5. Removing the skin. As someone who recently rediscovered eating octopus (after many years of it slipping below my radar), at first I was baffled by the removal of the skin, an idea some authors are pushing. Some websites disdain it, while others implore that by all means it is the essence of its dish (therefore don't remove it). I love it; but, I understand that its like the skin of chicken or certain fish, a love it or hate it relationship for many people. Perhaps a comment in this article would suffice by informing readers that many people relish the skin. They may find it's deliciously collagenous taste and texture offsets any gain in presentation.
