Octopus cooked well is delicious. I used to go to a fairly high end Greek restaurant in Toronto with clients when I was still working, and they were masters, and I am sure that fresh from the ocean it is even better. Did you sample octopus while you were in Spetses or were you already vegetarian?
Scan from a photo I took on the Island of Spetses 35 years back. Yes, drying octopuses. I did not sample the produce.
I'm conflicted ....somewhere between poor things and...hmmmm, how interesting!
ReplyDeleteOH MY word who knew such an activity existed. Would I be right in thinking they were put out to dry while still alive.

DeleteOh, no, I don't believe so... golly that never even occurred to me to question - wasn't going close enough to find out! Yxx

DeleteYes, vego... Yxx
I don't even like seeing them! Why is it I can look at dead fish, but these bother me? This photo sure makes a person feel something.
ReplyDeleteWonder if they taste best when fried or pickled
ReplyDeleteHello, I have never tried octopus and I do not think I will ever. I feel sorry for the poor things. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteUnique and creative shot of the octopus ~ a delicacy that I don't plan on trying ~
