Chef's Notes
The Story Behind Feke
Octopus hunting is a traditional Tongan skill, with women typically catching them during reef walks at low tide. The octopus is tenderized by beating it against rocks.
Grilling over coals gives the octopus a smoky char that pairs beautifully with coconut cream.
Feke is a beloved dish that connects Tongans to their reef-foraging traditions.
