OCTOPUS FOR THE FOOD SERVICE AND RETAIL INDUSTRIES
Every day, a large number of food service and retail establishments trust El Rey del Pulpo to provide their clients with the very best: top-quality octopus that tastes freshly caught.
We understand each industry’s needs. That’s why we’ve designed a specific line of formats for the restaurant industry: octopus tentacles frozen in bulk, cut into pieces, tenderized flower octopus; a variety of precooked octopus options: whole octopus and tentacles.
In addition to the formats and sizes designed especially for retail: trays of frozen octopus, precooked frozen or refrigerated tentacles in different sizes to adapt to all families’ needs.
If you’re concerned about timing, we guarantee the best timelines and always-efficient delivery, backed by a global distribution leader, specialized in exporting high-quality frozen octopus: Discefa.
Experts select specimens individually at the source. Then, our traceability system follows them throughout the entire processing cycle, thanks to SCADA technology. It certifies the monitoring of each octopus from the source until it reaches our customers’ kitchens.
Customers are increasingly interested in knowing where the food they see on the menu comes from. Consuming el Rey del Pulpo or any of the brands produced by Discefa (Fribó, Tentak, Algarvío, or Pindusa) means contributing to local families and producers who use small boats and artisan techniques to catch octopus in the best fishing grounds in the world.
El Rey del Pulpo is Discefa’s most well-known brand and it uses the same production and distribution system. It’s a totally unique infrastructure for delivering frozen octopus that allows us to be 100% agile and effective, adapt to your deadlines, and cover all of your business’ operational needs.

To keep our octopus’ properties stable, it goes through strict audits and quality control processes starting right when it is caught. Processing in separate areas in Discefa’s facilities prevents cross-contamination and guarantees the product is safe.
We are part of a group of brands committed to the future of the planet. This group supports initiatives to promote sustainable fishing practices. For instance, Discefa joined the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) to protect ocean life. All El Rey del Pulpo packaging for the food industry is recyclable and manufactured in a controlled manner in our facilities, with environmentally-safe procedures and materials.
In addition to having the required quality certifications, our octopus is backed by the highest IFS rating, the most demanding standard in the food industry. Its standards consider everything from raw material safety and quality to aspects related to the production process and CSR.
