Octopus
Octopus, sometimes considered shellfish, are related to squid.
It is common to sell octopus whole, frozen into a solid chunk of ice or fresh. Small octopuses are served as hand-like halves with about 4 tentacles. Large octopuses may be sliced thin for sushi. Live octopus is sometimes eaten for the thrill of having the suction cups grab at the eater’s mouth.
Ways to serve Octopus include:
deep-fat fried in batter
thrown into stir-fry
in an Italian dish with tomato sauce, cheese, etc.
sushi
