Hello! I defrosted a frozen octopus that I bought earlier. When I cut open the head, I found a white, ball-shaped object inside, as well as an orange-colored part that looks similar to fish roe. I’d like to ask what these two things are and whether they are edible. If they are edible, do they need to be cut open or soaked and cleaned in a specific way? Thank you!

The last time I found a ball in my octopus, it was a pearl. No kidding. Perhaps…. A giant pearl. As for the roe, octopus dont have ‘roe’. Looking at their biology, is this the digestive gland?
