these could be baby octopi, or possibly a species that just stays small. many do, you know…

In Korea, raw octopus tentacles are served so fresh that the tentacles are still squirming as you swallow, and rarely, surgical intervention is required when the tentacle grabs some part of your anatomy.

Marketman, try deepfried baby octopus the next time you’re in Singapore. Quite sweet, almost covered in syrup, yet delicious!

With the huge Greek community here in Melbourne (used to be the biggest Greek population outside of Greece – used to be), baby octopus is huge here. Having Greek “wog” in laws have exposed me a few delightful edibles. At the local Costco here, the inlaw made me try pickled baby octopus (which they said was a very good buy @$20/k and it lasts months, if at all). It wasn’t actually bad but not the best either – the octopus was tender, juicy and tasty but there was a missing depth of flavor.

For the definition of wogs in Australia (don’t look at the universal definition coz Aussies don’t like it):

I saw an old Iron Chef episode where they include the cork when they boiled the Octopus (they were using the really gigantic octopus in that episode too). The interpreter said that it helps in softening it. =)
