Clean the octopus thoroughly under cold water.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the octopus and cook for 30-40 minutes until tender.

Remove the octopus and let it cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.

In another bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

Dip each piece of octopus into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated octopus pieces in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, and capers before serving.
