Octopus Maya

Yucatan octopus is caught in an artisan fishery based on a traditional catching method using Poles and Bait, no hook.

The octopus male adhere himself to the bait in attempt to get food, so it is captured alive without harm.

The catching method allow fisherman to return to the sea the octopus below the 450gr size as required by law, and there are no by catches.

In addition, this type of catch is based on the fact that female octopus stop eating when they are ovulating, consequently we avoid catching and interrupting reproductive cycle of octopus as well as increase development of the species.

The fishery is truly sustainable and we participate in an FIP project aimed at reaching MSC certification.
