Directions:
Combine the breadcrumbs and seafood seasoning mix. Set aside.

Boil fresh octopus for at about 10 minutes. Remove skin and roughly chop. Run cooked octopus through a food grinder or food processor until the consistency of hamburger meat. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Form the octopus into 1" balls. Roll in seasoned bread crumbs to coat. Pan fry in butter or margarine on the stovetop until golden brown.

Remove to a nice serving dish. Garnish with lemon or lime, or both.

These appetizers will serve 4 as a Main Dish, when served with a nice salad on the side.
