Terrible. The result was tough as a bicycle tire and the lemon flavor was overwhelming. After three bites I sent the whole thing down my disposal. I wondered about the amount of lemon juice called for before I began, but I went ahead anyway. My mistake. Octopus is seafood and seafood 'cooks' in citrus juice. Even 3 hours is too much time in this marinade. By the time I put the octopus on the grill it had already toughened up. Cooking it only made things worse. Forget this one. And if you are wondering, yes, I used baby octopus, and, no, I did not overcook it. It was only in the heat for 5 minutes.
