Pacific Giant Octopus, Ekone Oyster Co., AK
Wild-Caught Pacific Giant Octopus in Organic Olive Oil
Owned and operated by the Taylor family of Taylor Shellfish Farms, Ekone carries forward a five-generation legacy of shellfish farming in the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 1982 by Nick and Joanne Jambor, Ekone began as a smoked oyster operation and has grown into a full tinned seafood program, now headquartered in Shelton, WA. This wild-caught Giant Pacific Octopus is sourced from the chilly depths off Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and hand-packed in organic olive oil. Tender, high-protein, and deeply savory, the pieces are fully cleaned and ready to eat straight from the tin or folded into pastas, tacos, and warm grain salads
